More About Me


Hello to those of you who are interested in my page and thanks for visiting,

I am is the founding director of CA Institute, Brno, an accredited school that he established in 1997. I first visited Czechoslovakia in 1988 with my Czech-born father, and after the fall of communism traveled to Brno regularly to see family and to train with the city’s first league team Boby Brno. I played soccer for the US Youth National teams which granted me a scholarship to play at Chapman University in Southern California where I studied linguistics and cultural anthropology and ended up with a multiple-subject teacher’s credential.

In addition to running a globally recognized institute as well a consultancy company, I continue to train teachers, organize workshops and even created the world-famous biennial International Language Symposium. I established a fully operating university by opening offsite campus for IDRAC International Business School in 2014 that has bachelor and master degree programs all in English with ECTS credits. I teamed up with Norwich Institute of Language Education (NILE) to provide an array of teacher training modules for primary and secondary schools in the Czech Republic as well as Delta. I am now back on the soccer field providing English training to his old team’s youth system and is partnered with City Football Language School who conduct English courses for young learners aged 9-17 in the heart of Manchester City’s Etihad Campus and New York’s Mercy College. This is an initiative that opens the door for Czech youth players to connect and engage with the club.

I have also opened a language assessment center for Euroexam and ETS Global.

I even find time to operate his consultancy company ELD Consultancy & CPD.  I live with his son and his father.
