Jack Stromland
Jack Stromland, an ex student of mine, is the first subject of my ‘where did they end up?’ series. Jack is simply a wonderful human being – he is tenacious, driven, humble, talented and an all round good guy! Jack has graciously updated his timeline for us and given us some photos from the past few years abroad. I feel so much personal satisfaction when things work out for students overseas, it’s certainly not easy, and when they beat the odds, it’s a good day!! Well done Jack Stromland, we are all very proud of you
