Born along time ago on a cold and gray Chicago morning. Donald has visited 14 countries around the world but most in Southeast Asia. His first trip to Thailand for a vacation was in the late fall of 1999. Right after Christmas of that same year he then decided it would probably really be Awesome to spend his New Year's vacation (Y2K) back in Bangkok. He has taught English to more than 6,700 Thai people from all walks of life. People young and old ages 4-60 years old, but mostly teenagers in 3-Thai government secondary schools for four years.
