PERSONAL DETAILS	Back to top of page
Born 5-5-1949 in Newport, Gwent, South Wales.  Holder of Australian and UK passports. Interested in other cultures and languages; can speak passable slow French, a smattering of Spanish and a few words in other languages. Most recent area of interest is the impact of science and technology on our social  and cultural values and belief systems. This fascinating field leads to questions of ethics, philosophy, metaphysics, ecology, etc. I believe that complementary skills developed through active observation of the world, have been critical in giving me the insights and memories for my creative pursuits and have also contributed to my work in assisting  people to adapt to the changing workforce.
