For the past five years, he has lived in Morocco where he served as a Head of School for two British International Schools and as a consultant for a management group that owns 22 Moroccan Schools and represents many of the leaders of the country, including the King of Morocco. Offering a wealth of knowledge and experience, he has returned to serve as Head of School at The Hague School where his exemplary commitment to academic excellence, student engagement, and service to the community remains part of the school’s foundation.
