I have been a teacher for the past 20 years, having graduated from the University of Birmingham in 2001, then traveled the world, and worked at KPMG in Birmingham for 3 years. I started my teaching career at Adams’ Grammar School in Shropshire, where steadily worked up the pastoral ladder for 10 years. My wife and I then decided to work Internationally, and obtained jobs in Taiwan, where we worked for 6 years. I was a PE teacher and Head of Year 8, and she was Head of Year 1. After 6 years, including the global pandemic, we moved to Malaysia, where we currently reside at a brand new school, called Stonyhurst, where we joined as founding members two years ago. Between our final year in Taiwan, and our first year in Malaysia, we did our Masters qualifications, which mine was from Exeter University!

Since leaving Exeter, my journey has been both fulfilling and purpose-driven. I’ve taken on the role of carer for my adult daughter, which has been a significant part of my life and an ongoing source of personal growth and insight. Alongside this, I’ve been deeply engaged in writing an eBook based on my doctoral research on Compassion-Based Reflective Practice (CBRP).
