Hi everyone! My name is Max, and I want to share a little bit about myself. I’m a former CSU-P student, and now a lecturer in the English and World Languages Department where I teach Rhetoric and Writing, and Creative Writing. In addition to teaching here on campus, I teach meditation and mindfulness in Colorado Springs for those struggling with addiction, whether it’s drugs and alcohol, or other process addictions, like social media, food, etc. Outside of teaching, I’m a Buddhist practitioner, studying under teachers from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. I also love spending time in nature, mostly hiking, biking, and paddleboarding.

I’ve witnessed and experienced how beneficial meditation and mindfulness can be, especially during challenging times, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to share it with you.
