After attending St Brendan’s College, he left school in 1972 and went to St Luke’s teacher training college in Exeter.
After qualifying as a teacher, he worked as a steel erector for three years before gaining employment at Whitefield Fishponds School and then Bristol Metropolitan Academy, one of the schools in the successful Cabot Learning Federation. He has worked there as a teacher of Physical Education for the last thirty-two years.
He lives with his partner, Ruth, and her son, Simon. He also has two children, Eddie and Kiri, and recently become a grandfather for the first time to Kiri’s son, Zachary.
His biggest passion in life has always been sport, playing rugby to a good level before trying his skills at kick-boxing. He now spends most of his time coaching and organising school sports and activities as well as coaching and refereeing basketball in local leagues. His proudest achievement so far was winning a national award, The Daily Telegraph UK Sports Teacher of the Year, in 2006.
His active life now includes fire spinning, a performing art which involves spinning balls of fire on the end of chains around your body in a variety of patterns. He likes to perform this to music on beaches in the summer.
Brendan has always been a keen history student, and it was this interest which encouraged him to research this book. This is his first attempt at such a project, and he is particularly keen that it might provide a basic introduction and a few answers to anyone who wants to know a bit more about Polish history and maybe their own Polish ancestry.ver menos
