tHE GRUMPY PROFESSOR

Here's what you need to know about me...

MY
LIFE

You'd think that because I have so many caring people, wonderful animals, and amazing things in my life, that I wouldn't be grumpy...

...and you'd be wrong. Here's the section to learn why.

01

MY
SCHOOLS

Running the greatest school, even part-time, is exhausting. So whenever we can, Jamie and I try to sneak away for an SPN -- that's "Strategically Placed Nap" for you civilian types. Yup, just some undisturbed quality time to relax in private and recharge, alone.

02

In 2012, (my wife and) I set out to make the world better, so we created the most amazing university on the planet — The Basel School. And now we’re crazy enough to do it again in 2025 with The Zurich School.

It's our little gift to the world...

MY WORKSHOPS

I've been dealing with the university selection process for over 30 years, and it is an absolute nightmare. That's why I do these workshops -- to help students, parents, guidance counselors, and teachers cut through the nonsense with real advice on how to select, apply, and succeed in the right university for you. Most importantly, I want to help you to not waste four years or more! If I'm nearby, I’ll be happy to present at your school — no fees, no obligations... just give me a stage and a coffee, and you'll get me for about 2 hours.

ONE
MORE
THING

Got an opinion? Good. Get your own website. This is a space for my rants, calling out nonsense and saying what needs to be said.

04

YOU'RE STILL HERE?

After all that, you still want more? Fine. Let me know if you want one of my free workshops at your school, and yes, I still do consulting for the FMCG and SecDef Sectors -- occasionally.
