: About Me

I have written a handbook on living sustainably in marine and aquatic environments awaiting publishing. This took many years research and used a plethora of life experience. This has been approved by 6 government and 3 non-government departments in Australia.

Basically, my life has been one big adventure and knowledge-collecting experience. It is my aim now, to pass on some of that knowledge for others to gain from my many years of study and passion.

In 2006 I wrote an editorial for a regional newspaper and have had scores of letters to the editor published.

I once wrote for Ecopolitics Newsletter online reporting on environmental issues for 2 States of Australia.

In 2002 I completed a combined Arts/Science Degree majoring in Communications and have since completed Grad.Cert OSH and a TEFL Cert. which I used to teach in Thailand.

It seems everything we humans (most humans) do to develop (in our concept of development), requires Environmental rape and pillage. Unlike the native South Americans and Papua New Guineans, we are unable to live 'within' the Environment, and find it necessary to manipulate and control it as though it is a finite resource. Well, now we are r...
