Hello:) My name's Doug Croslow, I'm a first year student in the MATESOL program at the University of Illinois.

I studied philosophy at St. Louis University and then taught English in Japan for seven years. I lived in Osaka, where you can find some of the best food in the world. It's also the place where I found my lovely wife Kaori.

Kaori's been my angel and she can currently be found flying the skies of North America for American Airlines. My best buddy however is Bochan or Bochi as we usually call him. His favorite hobby is chasing rabits, and he likes to stay in shape by running laps around the yard. He's awfully fast for a guy with three inch legs.
