I live and work in Brisbane, Australia, where I’m beginning my journey into web development as a full-stack developer.
I recently started a coding bootcamp with Coder Academy Brisbane, and I'm loving learning to code. This portfolio site will grow as I progress through the course, so please come visit again and see the progress I'm making.

I have worked in cinemas as a Projectionist, Duty Manager and WHS Officer. But for most of the past twenty years I have taught English in Australia and Japan
I studied and received a Bachelor of Information technology with extra units in Japanese at CQU University in 2002. Then, after becoming a teacher, I went on to take a Masters in Linguistics at UNE and various other teaching qualificatoins.
Below are some of the courses and certificates I have completed.
I have enjoyed martial arts all of my life. From Taekwando and Aikido through my childhood and early adulthood, to Japanese archery (Aikido) and swordsmanship.
I hold various levels of attainment and in the past was an instructor of Taekwando and an assistant instructor in Aikido. I have been on Japanese national TV multiple times due to my archery training. (and for my teacher's amusement)
I also enjoy reading, learning languages, and playing adventure boardgames with friends. Just don't try to get me to play Monopoly...please.
Oh... and did I mention that I can fly airplanes?
