John's Beekeeping Notebook
A short autobiography of John
Caldeira
By way of introduction, . . . .
Current residence: Fiji Islands, South Pacific
Born: 1955, in Florida.
Raised: Suburbs of New York City (Valley Stream & Yorktown Heights, New York, and Oakland, New Jersey). Much of my adult life was enjoyed around Dallas, Texas.
Interests: Canoeing and kayak touring, building kayaks, snorkeling, chess, art appreciation, growing edible plants, and beekeeping.
Education: B.S. in Psychology (University of Bridgeport, Connecticut) and M.S. program in Industrial Engineering & Operations Research (State U. of New York at Buffalo). I am an American Canoe Association-certified coastal and open water kayaking instructor.
Work: Semi-retired. For most of my career, I performed corporate financial planning and strategic analysis. I have expertise in financial planning, decision and risk analysis, and agri-business development.
If you are a sea kayaker or beekeeper planning to visit Fiji, I'd like to hear from you! I especially enjoy kayaking with skilled sea kayakers, and working bees with experienced beekeepers.
