About Me

I'm married with a grown up family, a professional engineer and manager, now self employed with my own consulting business. I've lived most of my life in Auckland, New Zealand, where I now live, but have lived for periods in London, Brisbane, Sydney, Palo Alto, and in New Zealand, in Dunedin and Christchurch.

My work career has been in municipal and public health engineering, particularly water engineering and more recently in institutional reform and corporatisation.
