Attended Castle Vale Comprehensive up until 79. Joined the British Army, Royal Corps of Signals. After several years serving Her Majesty, I left the forces and spent a number of years in a variety of jobs. After becoming disatisfied with the way my life was going I returned to full time education and 5 years later qualified as a teacher B.Ed. This took me out to the Middle East, initially Qatar and then onto Dubai where I currently work. In January however, I am due to move with my wife and two children to China.
