“my name's joe”
The educator card.

ACADEMIC, RESEARCHER, DEVELOPER & EDUCATOR: an unlikely role model with a class of distinction.

Richard of York gave battle in vain. ROYGBIV. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Now there are a lot of blues in the spectrum, there's a lot of blues in the sea, and the sky! Is that how the scatter effect works, is all this related? Or are blueskies absolute?

The 'preppy tutor' is down with an imagined slick electro beatnik cool, but dressed in a brushed jacket and jeans, his sole purpose is to think, to inspire and to ponder the smallest wonders of life. He likes to talk, he likes to listen but most of all he lives to look. The world is his studio, the classroom his rock, a romantic at heart, his students are peers. An inquisitive mind that knows no fears, a vast imagination that ingests all it hears.

The 'preppy tutor' is captivated by his lifes work, too complex to define, yet so beutiful in its simplicity, he engages with his subject through everyday play. Embracing his inner child, he views the world with innocence and high optimism, untainted by deep dark institutional cynisism, Dr Pete Tee observes the hearts and minds of men in is quest for the truth.

Dr Pete Tee likes to share his roasted vegetable and tofu sandwich or his thoughts. Problem solving and brainstorming pulsate through his synapses, lateral thinking is in his first nature as his intelegence races in electrical storms around the campus. First in the office in the mornings and last out at night, he networks and smoozes the cities cultural delights, in search of greater knowledge to satisfy his insatiable desire for learning.

So what's with the blue? I make it green.
