Hi, I am Des Forbes a longtime teacher and educator. I began teaching informally at the age of fifteen but later received formal training in education philosophy and pedagogy at teachers’ college. However, when I entered university my focus shifted to psychology, experimental psychology to be more specific.

Although my advanced degrees are in psychology, ever since graduation I’ve been employed in the field of education. In fact, I currently work as part of the administrative team at a small junior college. I’ve been in this system for the past thirty years and I must say it has had its ups and downs but by-in-large the experience has been extremely fulfilling. Especially when I am able to witness the many youngsters who have gone on to become successful professionals and responsible citizens as a result of my tutelage. This is a tremendously gratifying experience.

I enjoy swimming and love the outdoors, although I must admit I’ve been doing very little of either recently. I’m a fairly good racquetball player and could manage to shoot the basketball but limited facilities have forced me into walking and jogging as pastimes. Musically, I’m more a R&B kind a guy and politically I lean more towards social-democratic. In terms of my religion, I was raised as a Christian, but I have a few questions and issues I’m trying to reconcile at this time.

In recent times I have heard a great deal about online computer business and blogging. After looking at what others are doing and their various levels of success I thought I would have a go at it. One thing I’ve learned right away is that in order to do this properly you must work at it continually. (So I don’t believe the hype that anyone can do it.) However, I believe my academic exposure and personal discipline will allow me to make it a successful endeavor in due time.

It’s a pleasure to be a part of this community and I look forward to interacting with as many of you as possible; wherever you may be in the world.
