After escaping his native Western Australia in 2005, he had stints in senior educational administration in Beijing, Vientiane (Laos), and Shenzhen. He squeezed in a few years in between to start a recruitment company with a good friend in Australia (its called Schrole) but felt the lure of school leadership so, went back to the best job (and perhaps most challenging role) in the world in Shenzhen. After enjoying all that the pandemic had to offer, he found himself the Vice President for International Schools Services, the 70 year old leviathan of services to schools across the world. Now overseeing the management of ISS schools, PD, consulting services, and recruitment, he is fortunate to be in a job that has all the fun and none of the downsides of running a school.
