I have had the pleasure of watching Daish grow considerably as a solo founder in confidence as his Stone & Chalk mentor and now sit on his Advisory Board. Daish is a compassionate and creative solo start up founder focused on helping those recovering from neurological trauma live their best life with VR rehabilitation. Daish is a natural community focused collaborator, and a collector of people with his friendly and kind demeanour. He is innovative technical mind, is constantly thinking about the next step forward with VR and how this relates to helping humans recover. Daish is very persistent and an accredited adult educator who has communicated and shared his knowledge and technical skills for several years successfully whilst growing his start up Add Life Technologies.

Aug 2007 - May 2009
Lesson Planning and teaching English to children ages 2-6 years old. This involved everything from just playing, going to the park. making a mess while eating ( them not me),singing songs, etc but also had a strong social focus as its an important time for children to learn social skills. Behind the scenes a lof of planning for lessons. I taught a "pre school graduates" class for older students where we learned about science, the natural world and our local environment. A rewarding experience that taught me just as much as I was teaching.
