American Teacher Relocated to London

Hello future flatmates and people who clicked out of mild curiosity,

I started my career as a high school teacher, briefly wandered into corporate life where I wore sensible shoes and said things like “circle back,” and am now transitioning back to being a high school teacher, because it turns out teenagers and executives require the exact same skill set. Patience, humor, and the ability to explain the same thing five different ways.

I have a PhD and teach Chemistry and Physics, which sounds impressive but mostly means I can over explain why the kettle takes so long to boil. I also used to be an HR director at tech companies, so I am calm in a crisis, good with boundaries, and legally trained to say “let’s talk about that” instead of panicking.

Outside of work, I play the cello (dramatically), basketball (optimistically), and tennis (with enthusiasm, not talent). I am relocating to the UK to escape American politics and embrace a quieter life, strong opinions about tea, and people who queue correctly.

I am gay, single, friendly, and very house trained. I believe American candy is objectively better than British candy, and yes, I am prepared to defend this position politely and with evidence. I also love Ozempic, mostly because I appreciate efficiency in all forms, including metabolism.

If you want a considerate, self aware flatmate who cleans up after himself, laughs at his own jokes, and will absolutely bring superior American candy as a peace offering, I might be your guy.
