HTS Nerd here, sitting in Terminal 4 at JFK (yes, even classification superheroes have to sometimes travel by normal means), about to jet off to Bengaluru to lead an eager group of HTS cadets in an intense 5-day Customs classification course (try saying that 5-times fast!).

It’s an amazing opportunity to share my excitement and passion for classification. Yes, that’s right… genuine excitement (which is why your’s truly is the HTS Nerd). It’s truly a blessing when you can share your passion with others.

Alright… I can see those eyes rolling out there – I am a classification superhero after all. I see the act of classification determination as a logic puzzle to be solved (and I do love logic puzzles!). Each one, no matter how mundane it may seem, is a challenge to master.

That’s what makes this field so exciting for me. I get to wake up every single day and do what I love.

In the coming days ahead and beyond, I’ll be sharing highlights of my trip to India. Follow me on Twitter  (@HTSNerd) and tag #HTSNerdAdventures.

In the meantime, share with the Nerd and your fellow HTS cadets what your passion is. What is it that brings excitement and joy into your life? Share how you are making the most of that passion!
