I am a 49 year old from Cardiff in South Wales currently residing in Portland Oregon. In the UK I was a part-time college lecturer and Private Tutor. My initial degree was a B.A.(Hons) in Philosophy/History and I also obtained the British post-graduate teaching qualification ( P.G.C.E.F.E.). Since immigrating to the US five years ago I have completed about 10 months of an associates Degree course in Web Design and Site Maintenance and I am currently pursuing Linux certification with LPIC.
