About Me
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, I received my BA from Brown University in the USA and my MBA from McGill University in Canada. My wife, who I met in Montreal, is from Mexico City, where we lived and where I first taught English for 4 years. After the birth of our daughter, we relocated to California, where we lived for 27 years. I worked for several banks in California and recently retired. We just relocated again, back to Mexico! We've decided to spend our retirement years in beautiful Playa del Carmen (just south of Cancun). I have a passion for teaching English (I obtained my TESL Certificate from UC Irvine and taught English over 3 years in California too), and I wish to continue working part time for at least the next few years.Education
