Paul's Story

Life Greetings to old friends! Graduated from Brennan H.S in 1986, then the Univ. of Windsor in 1990 and set out to Japan on what was intended to be a 6-month adventure. Stayed in Osaka for 5 years(!), taught in a public high school by day and trained in martial arts by night. In 1995, went back to Vancouver, opened a Karate Dojo, went to Simon Fraser Univ. (PDP) and obtained teacher certification in B.C. Married the girl who kept me in Japan for so long in round 1, and we returned back to Japan in 1998. Became Director of International Education, Canada Programs at a private girls high school & college. 2 boys: 6 yrs and 3 yrs old. Currently President of Kansai Canadian Association (see our site). Bought a big red canoe and a kayak last year and on Sundays, can be found out on a lake 15 minutes up the road with the family or friends. A long way from Windsor, but you can take the boy outta Windsor but you can't take the Windsor out of the boy --- sure do miss Tim Horton's!! Currently Director of West Japan for an executive recuitment/placement firm. Hope to hear from old names and faces from the past. Dupes School Best teacher at Brennan: Ma Creede, of course.
