A key aspect of my life journey has been travel. I was born in the United Kingdom and thanks to a steady diet of adventure films in my formative years, I’ve always found myself excited by what’s beyond the horizon. Travel actually introduced me to the possibility of teaching.
After backpacking in Europe and spending a year taking full advantage of Australia’s working holiday visa, I discovered that I could teach English as a foreign language. I chose South Korea as the country I would teach. After a successful four years teaching English in a public elementary school I moved to Calgary, Canada to complete a bachelors of education.
Calgary has been a wonderful place for me to develop my teaching experience and start a family. My wife and I welcomed my three year old son Charlie into the world in the summer of 2018.
My passion for the arts, music and popular culture always intertwine with my interests in philosophy and sociology. I’ve found serendipitously that these pursuits have always informed and supported my teaching career in my continued effort to offer learning to students which is current, relevant and fun.
