A few things about me
I have been
involved in Communications all my life. In that time I have worked in
almost every field, always on the technical side. Twenty five
years
ago I finally stopped
working for a boss and started out on my own.
At that time I went through a divorce and was left with custody of four
children, so I started a business from home, enabling me to work and
raise the children at the same time. This
worked well, and as my children grew up up I was able to move the
business into commercial premises.
I like music, early
Jazz, Blues, Swing, R&B, and Classical, plus fishing, camping,
small boats, and general outdoor life.
My main sport these
days is tenpin bowling, mainly league level, and some tournaments.
I also play representative level in a Sydney based
interdistrict competition every weekend.
I also played golf, and played locally in dart and snooker competitions, and while younger I played Rugby Union.
Rugby, both League
and Union, and cricket are my main sports interests.
My children have all
gone out into the world, so I have only myself to look after, at last!
I can now be a proud grandfather and enjoy my grandchildren.
I live in the Northern Beaches suburbs of Sydney, Australia. We are bounded by the Pacific Ocean, Pittwater, the Hawkesbury River, Kuringai Chase National Park, and Sydney Harbour. The centre of the City is down on the southern side of the harbour.
Here are some local scenes.

Now some pictures from my daughter Michelle's wedding at
Lennox Head on the New South Wales North Coast
Proud father and bride-to-be
The wedding was held on the headland at Lennox Head, complete with local hang gliders hovering overhead.
At the last moment a strong wing sprung up, so the marquee was not erected.
