My Journey

I am a former IT administrator, website manager, and computer skills teacher. I have taught in various locations around South Africa, to all age groups from 7-year-olds to adults. I have spent over 20 years sourcing software and hardware, so I feel confident that I am able to make some valuable suggestions regarding the many upskilling courses available online.

I am also investigating how to set up business opportunities online, within this framework.

I am now located in the Netherlands, and have been living on a 100-year-old Dutch barge on the canals of Holland, with my family and dog, Benji!
