Personal details
I have been involved in education in many situations since the 1980s starting off as a teacher in America. My original passion was the Olympic sport of Gymnastics where I coached and judged at an international level. Since the mid-90s I have dedicated my studies to the field of learning and development with a focus on learning technology design. Through work and leisure I have been lucky enough to travel across much of America and Europe to gain a global perspective to the learning process. As Michelangelo said in his 70’s, ‘I’m still learning.’
