: About Me

I have worked in television for 25 years. I produced promo's for the Australian TV Networks until 1990 when I went over to the "dark side" selling hardware and software technology to TV stations all over the world. I have been priviledged to have worked with the best in special effects, editing, and server technologies that drove films - Jurassic Park, Schindlers List, Lord Of The Rings and many more.

I know a lot about editing equipment, server based television playout, the new Internet protocols and signal distribution.

My career has taken me to live in London, Cambridge, Paris and Hong Kong and I have visited most countries of the world selling the technology that drives TV stations and post production companies.

But I am also a Scuba diver qualified as Dive Master, Nitrox and Re-Breather and have dive buddies all over the world. I have dived throughout Asia and have lived and loved the area most of my life. I am passionate about many things, (some might say too many)and am a lucky man.

I play too much golf (badly) but enjoy it.

Oh, and I love my Harley Davidson Fat Boy.

The warm sunshine, the glorious beaches and even warmer smiles of the Philippino people make you forget your pressures, forget your troubles and return again and again. Granted, the first time you visit The Philippines it is like walking into a huge jumble sale. From the moment you arrive at Cory Aquino International Airport outside the sprawling metropolis of Manila you are definitely in The Philippines.
