Ken Lynch took his own passion for learning and created MindGlo
As 2008 drew to a close, Ken Lynch had to make some changes. Out of work and living in Hoboken, New Jersey, he decided to return to his native Portland, spend some time with his family and contemplate his next career move.
As he drove across the US in a U-Haul, he made two decisions: he wanted to learn to play the guitar and he wanted to learn Spanish. But it was easier said than done. Finding a class that fit his needs proved prohibitive. So seizing the entrepreneurial spirit, he decided to start his own class.
And that is how MindGlo got started. Now offering dozens of classes in myriad areas, MindGlo is Portland’s new adult learning center. Instruction is held in informal settings like local coffee houses and Whole Foods markets.
Lynch says they are steadily expanding their course catalog and new classes start all the time. For more info check out their website.
