I was born in Trinidad and Tobago and moved to Canada as a first grader. I taught in four countries before moving to Germany in 2005. During my time travelling and working, I  met my wife Jana in Mumbai, India. We have two children, Aysha who is 9 and Savio is 5, who were born here in Berlin. I was fortunate enough to be able to get three years of paternity leave and spent that time with my daughter and wife in Tanzania.

 

Berlin is a wonderful city and I enjoy meeting friends in different places in Kreuzberg. In summer we enjoy going to Viktoria Park and Gleisdreieck. Recently we have been spending time in our garden house in Brandenburg.

​

 My wife and I love to travel and as a family that continues. One of our best vacations was spent backpacking through Nicaragua and Costa Rica without two children for six weeks. We ended up taking twenty-two different buses and seeing beaches, volcanoes and cloud forests.

 

I fell in love with teaching as an undergrad where I had the opportunity to teach PE in an after school programme. After getting my degree in Physical Education, I trained to become an elementary school teacher and then completed my masters while working in Nicaragua as an athletic director.

 

Teaching is a job that has its challenges and rewards. I feel fortunate that I can laugh every day at my job. BBIS is a quality school for many reasons including the inclusivity of the student body and the philosophy of challenging children to improve themselves regardless of the level they are starting at.
