D. A. Hiestand

                                       Hi, and thank you for your interest.

 

         I've been married to my wonderful and supportive wife, Teri, since June 2012. I love to be social, but I relish my private time too. Basketball and video games are joyful, and body-building is a hobby, though I'm overweight after Covid! I still love music, but rather than being too involved in the industry at the moment, I am focused on enjoying my collection .

          I love to work and relax with a heavy intensity. Relaxing is something that, ironically, always requires work. As it's unclear whether or not any virtues come naturally, people must always work to become better. People must work to improve the quality of their lives as well as of those who they surround themselves with. As I've transitioned through Connecticut, Los Angeles CA, Japan, Sacramento CA, and finally to Hong Kong, it's been very specific people and organisations who've helped me through it all.

          I've got a lot of love for my family, my students, my collaborators, and the companies and schools who've helped me along the way (some of whom you can click on below). Nothing comes without assistance in this world, and gratitude paired with consideration are important traits to have. Again, thanks for reading, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
