Summary
I am a dedicated, self-motivated educational leader seeking further development in senior leadership. I thrive whilst working in a stimulating and challenging educational environment where I can continue to equip young people with the values, attitudes and skills necessary to become successful global citizens in the twenty first century.
I currently live and work in Guangzhou, China with my wife Rachel, a qualified teacher and our 14 year old daughter, Raya, and our sons, Ethan and Kellan, aged 13 and 10.
