I've been a teacher for over 25 years, and am currently the Director of Science and Technology at a large comprehensive school in East Sussex, UK. To bore you with the qualifications, I have a Joint Honours Degree in Botany and Zoology, and a PhD in Biological Sciences. I was also one of the first Advanced Skills Teachers in the SE of England. I am a passionate believer in life-long learning, and I will do whatever I can to encourage learning for all ages. My wife is a Primary Headteacher, and we've been married for over 29 years. We have two grown-up daughters, and a cat. Outside of teaching I have a number of interests, including weight training, rugby union, football (a life-long Coventry City fan!), walking and entreprenuring .
