ABOUT RUSS ADLEM
Hi and Thanks for visiting my profile, At Secondary school I had aspirations of being a doctor but life\'s twists and turns (and teachers who under-estimated my ability) led me down the Psychology route. I lived in Swansea for 3 years while working towards my degree and embraced every moment of my University life - in short, I absolutely loved it! The course was an eye-opener and I am still fascinated by human behaviour, attitudes and thought processes. After Uni, I decided that I wanted to live and work abroad for a year (or 4). I looked at various countries but Japan\'s meticulous nature and economic stability made it the place for me. I lived in a small city, Matsuyama, on the island of Shikoku and was blown away by \'everything Japanese\'. I learnt so much in 4 years - the culture, the language, the ethics - and was lucky enough to meet my beautiful wife, Hitomi (she was the Manager for one of our competitors!) We moved back to Caversham in Reading, where I grew up, and I started teaching in a Primary School which was a lot different to teaching in Japan. It was while teaching that I started to develop Foodeeze (games) designed to encourage children to eat healthier food in a fun, educational way. In 2007, the untimely death of my father left a lot of holes in our lives and I made the decision to join the family company with my Mother and Brother to keep his legacy going. Hitomi and I had our daughter, Arisa, about 4 months after my father passed away and Mei recently joined the family in 2014 - they\'re adorable when they\'re not fighting, biting or crying! I took a year out to help 13-17 year olds, with learning difficulties, gain qualifications. However, I missed working with the family and have now moved back to Caversham Coachworks. I currently run our Abingdon Branch. Thank you for your time.
