It's bizarre how I ended up living in Sefrou and Fez. I studied Arabic at the University of Hawaii. I'm not sure why (my best supposition is that the universe needed me to be my daughter's daddy and set me on this path - nothing else really makes sense). My major was cultural anthropology and my minor was in film. I took a lot of classes that interested me. I took Arabic for three years - even though I didn't have much talent for it.
