Description:

My hometown is Andover, Hampshire in the south of England. However I have spent much of my life abroad and for most of the last twenty years have been living in China.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Economics from The London School of Economics, and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education from The University of South Africa.

After graduating from university I spent three years teaching and studying mandarin in Taiwan. I then worked in business in Hong Kong for over ten years, finally setting up and running a company handling investment and financial planning for our clients. The pressures of running a business outweighed the benefits though, and so I returned to teaching.

My interests in life are investment and finance, literature, languages, sports, humour and human development.
