He loves writing stories for his son and reading them to him. He also enjoys riding his bicycle, reading history, writing, listening to audio books, and traveling with his son. He is a licensed pilot and used to skateboard and ski in his youth. He loves writing stories with morals, ethics, and life lessons for his students and young children, especially for his son. In the past, he has written technical material and material on ethics for his students and now is exploring writing books for children. The Crows reflects his views on creating a high-trust society by teaching children that freedom alone is not enough and that courtesy and responsibility must also be practiced since practicing freedom alone can turn a society into a chaotic one.
