It's just come to my attention that this free server may overload you with irritating pop-ups. I would suggest closing each bout of pop-ups before looking at other pages. And perhaps consider downloading this software to get rid of them altogether. I apologize for all of this and will seek to find a better home for my site |

I don't really like writing about myself so you will find this a rather dull web-page in comparison to most others. I decided to make this page, though, because of the amount of on-line discussion and e-mail exchanges I've had with people over the years. It's always nice to be able to put a face to a name... ...so here I am! |

OK...OK, so it's an old photo (I was about four I guess), but you don't really want to see me as I am today. Oh, alright then, there are newer pictures in the Photo Gallery... Though born in England, I have spent most of my adult life away from it. After leaving the army in my early twenties I married, moved to Italy, and had a son, Michael, who still lives there with his mother. While in Italy I worked for a few different companies in their export sales departments which, though not my preferred line of work, did allow me to visit many parts of the world. After seven years in Italy I moved to Taipei, Taiwan, where I started working as an English teacher to kindergarten students. I loved the job, subsequently joining another school in the capital where, aside from teaching, I also managed the English teaching department. Back in 1999 I started taking college classes, nearly all of them on-line via Cerro Coso Community College, based in Ridgecrest, California, and a year later moved to the State to speed up completion of my degree. At the beginning of 2001 I started working part-time for the college, as a Student Assistant to the Biol141 class, as well as working in partnership with another student cum employee. We have set up a web-site to help students overcome various problems associated with studying degrees on-line, and assist instructors and other Student Assistants on various aspects of the on-line experience. In May 2001 I graduated from Cerro Coso with an Associate of Science degree in Computer Information Systems (here's a copy of my transcript). More recently I've been taking Administration of Justice classes and am presently going through the selection process to become a 911 dispatcher. And in a nutshell, that's it! There are a few photos to look at as I already mentioned. ...Look, I said at the top that this would be a fairly dull web-site, didn't I? Well, what do you expect? Your horoscope? The weather report? Fashion news from Milan? Hmmm...OK, you will be very rich and successful, the weather will be dry mainly in the plains, and imitation crocodile skin is IN! Happy now?
