The Online Education Guy

This is how it all started…

In the ancient times of 1979, the morning dawned warm and humid in the island realm (Philippines). On that day a child was born and fate had plans for him. This child would soon be whisked away to an ancient kingdom far from his birth home (Turkey) and be raised there as a native.

At the age of 15, this young lad would leave his quite village of 12 million people and start his heroes journey by leaving home and tackling the monsters and challenges along the way. The first challenge he has was to escape the path that everyone was on and escape the clutches of the evil monster named “Stehdi Jhob“. It took him 5 years to defeat this fell beast, but in 2006 he finally escaped to join the vaunted mercenary group The Peace Corps.

After completing his 2 year tour of duty, he took the hand of a fair princess in the magical kingdom of Méhico and set off on his true quest of exploring the hidden corners of the magical realm of Entrepreneur.

Follow along on his adventures in the land of Entrepreneur by reading from his scrolls and tomes found here.
