Life has been wonderful, mainly because I married Lee-Anne in 1992. We have two children Joshua (1993) and Jemma (1997). Graduated as a geologist , found my passion for teaching, then set up an educational consultancy business which became Mighty Minds. Miami SHS has been our client since 1998 so I regularly visit the place that gave me such a great start in life. My fellow classmate Paul Eastwell is still my account.
