Adam Field’s Summary

I have a strong belief that the best way to reinforce your learning is to teach to others and I apply this principle to my business relationships and my personal life.

I worked in IT for 12 years but some personal circumstances caused me to re-evaluate my life choices. I decided that I didn't want to work in IT for the rest of my life and decided to go to university.
