Biography

Woody is a CRAC workshop veteran (2000- current) and as well as running the Careers department at Bablake is his school's Webmaster, Press Officer and Magazines Editor. Some teaching is fitted in along the way!

Keen to keep abreast of the benefits of new technology, he is passionate about encouraging students to take advantage of presenting a positive online portfolio. He is currently trying to revamp his website (www.woodyswebwatch.com), create a Careers app and grab more than 4 hours sleep a night.

Woody's glass of life is always more than 100% full and photography, the media and sport are indulged in whenever family and work commitments allow. He is also a great advocate of networking where dedication to the careers cause has led to many bizarre moments including a night's sleep in a doorway in London and a night as a VIP Hostess (sic)!

Those billeted nearby can expect eclectic musical blasts from the likes of The Cocteau Twins, Laura Marling, Kraftwerk, The Sugarhill Gang or The White Stripes to seep through the pipes and walls, accompanied by his trademark tuneless whistling.

Be warned that less than 12 months ago he sold his soul to Steve Jobs and Apple.
