.........This story can go rambling on ..........
Since leaving School:
I joined Upper Hill School to do my ‘A’ Levels followed, by a year at USIU where I did my first year B.A. in psychology,
in 1975 I left to study at John Abbott College in Montreal, followed by studies in Interdisciplinary studies in the
Undergraduate Scholars Program at Concordia and McGill Universities in Montreal (Neuropsychological, neurophysiology,
computer science and philosophy).
Since graduating I have worked in computer science, developing and implementing computer systems. In 1982 I came to
Mexico to consult with Pepsico (Mexico) and the University of Guanajuato. I have lived and worked in various positions
and cities in Mexico since then. At present I am the Director of Systems and International Affairs for the largest private
NGO in Mexico called Genete Nueva – Social Programs which has its head offices in Mexico City.
Gente Nueva has a national nutrition program (www.unkilodeayuda.org.mx) to combat child malnutrition, a self sustaining
Rural hospital system, the largest and most successful Microfinance Institution in America
(www.compartamos.com and various other social enterprises.
My wife is from Mazatlan on the Pacific coast of Mexico where we live with our four wonderful children.
