Teach, Learn, Share

Through working in Advertising, Marketing and Design, I have learnt about many things that my host may find interesting. My wife Debra and I have had 6 kids between us (3 each), youngest is 14 and the oldest is 28 and they are both mine - I know crazy! So pretty well up with most things and very open to new adventures.
