In his words:

I find my true love of work and life in movement education. It is a welcome challenge to meet each child every day and ask myself: How can I bring movement into this child’s life and meet his or her needs today, tomorrow, next month, and this whole year? Moving with the children in ways they’ve never experienced, and challenging them to discover and bring forth their full range and potential is my greatest reward.
