Educator

Mike grew up in Brisbane, Australia, imagining he was everything from a rogue pirate to an intergalactic traveller. His desire to write began as a student at primary school when one of his short stories won second prize in a local writing challenge. University and teacher training – another childhood imagining – beckoned following high school. 

His career spanned nearly 40 years, during which he shared his love of learning with students of all ages, from pre-schoolers to adult learners.
