: About Me

A former Award Winning Small Businessman, I am now happily retired on the coast of Australia.

My wife & I have 3 cats, no children.

My wife is as a Medical Secretary while I work from home in Market Research.

In 2001, after having suffered from malnutrition for almost 50yrs as an undiagnosed 'Coeliac', I spent 12 months bedridden, came close to death at a weight of only 30 kilos, but was given a second chance in life and now by the grace of GOD, am on the road to recovery.

Through my research into Alternative Medicine & Nutrition for my condition, have been able to greatly assist a number of friends in recovering from numerous diverse illnesses, esp. CANCER. !

My Motto: Every day is a gift from GOD, that is why it is called the present'!

My interests are: Music( Song writing, playing Drums and Percussion ), DIY, Tinkering, Alternative Medicine, Crosswords & Puzzles, Bushwalking, Science & Nature and am a Published Writer & Poet.
