Welcome

Hello. If your looking at this page, you probably already know me. For those that don't, I'm Paul.
I've been teaching in Japan for over 13 years. After teaching English in the Tokyo area for 8 years, I decided to move to Shikoku where I am now teaching at Kochi University of Technology. Kochi is an appealing place to live and work. Our campus is surrounded by mountains and as you can probably guess, I am happiest when outdoors.
Most of my free time is spent cycling in the nearby mountains, although I also enjoy hiking, surfing, skiing, & snorkeling. Of course, I love my job as a teacher too. I have been teaching ever since I finished college and I can't think of a more rewarding profession. I have many opportunities to travel and have the benefit of being a life-long learner. My recent research involves technology and education so I am a bit of a computer geek. I enjoy experimenting with Linux, MySQL and PHP to create applications for learning. Computers and cycling are a good balance in my life.
