: About Me

I am a Teacher living in country Queensland. I Have a wife and two kids and a great life with them. I teach Science and Technology at the local high school and although new to the profession I Thoroughly enjoy it. Before teaching I had a very diverse career as a mine worker, farm hand, parking station attendant, salesperson and student.
