About Me

Hey Everyone,So this is the first blog post I have ever made and I guess I will use it to share a little bit about myself with you. My name is Dean and I am a candidate teacher at BrockU. I moved to Canada in 1989 with my family from South Africa and now I reside in Hamilton with my wife Michelle. I recently returned from living in Israel where I learned to speak Hebrew and Arabic and travelled to many countries all over the Middle East, Africa and Europe. I love travelling and I hope that this blog can be a forum for discussing some of my amazing trips and hearing about some of yours. I am also a DJ and I currently work for Magen Boys Entertainment where I DJ and Emcee weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs and any other event from birthdays to corporate events. I just finished my first week of teacher education and I am already inundated with mounds of work. Who knew being a teacher was so hard??? So far its been great and the people, both teachers and my peers are fun and interesting and have a lot to offer. Again, I hope this blog will be a place where anything can be discussed. I love talking about history and politics but anything from travelling to music is welcome. I have posted a video that was shot at my wedding back in February. It is a song I sang to my wife instead of making a speech. My then fiancee planned the entire wedding while I was away and I felt that I needed to do something. So about two months before the wedding I started thinking of something to do and eventually with the help of some of my amazing friends Scott and Daniella from Flasharilla and my amazing groomsmen, we came up with "Meet My Bride." My very own rendition of "Be Our Guest." I hope you enjoy it but please note there is some inappropriate language. Thanks and looking forward to your posts.
