Early Life

After returning to Toronto, he started a private consulting business focussed on strategic planning and conflict resolution. While working in Latin America, Cullen learned the Spanish language and named his company Maravilla Consultants after a town named Maravilla (the Spanish word for wonder) in Costa Rica in which he worked. He moved to Smithers, British Columbia in 1998 to work as a coordinator for a Katimavik program.
Cullen completed high school at Martingrove Collegiate Institute, Toronto, Ontario, and is a graduate of the Comparative Development Studies Program at Trent University, Peterborough, Ontario.

Famous quotes related to early life:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
