On this page you can find out more about me, what I've
done, where I live, what I like, where my interests are and all that boring stuff.
There are one or two photos on this site so it may take time to download, but I think you
might find it's worth a look.

This photo
shows one of New Zealands active volcanoes letting off a little steam. The picture
was snapped when I was on my way up to visit Heikell Transport for their Q
Base training.

This is an example of one of the houses I
used to build, this one is about 13 years old and is in Palmerston North. We used to also
relocate and renovate houses throughout the Manawatu, many of which were for the M.U.S.A.
as student accommodation. |

This is one of our family pets - Spike
He is a complete fox terrier ie all bits are still on him such as his tail, (I bet you
were thinking of other body parts) and he belongs to my son, James. |

The view from where I live would be great except someone planted a some Pine trees
about 30 years ago which tends to block any long distant view North toward Mt Ruapehu. My
family and I live in a rural setting where we run a few stock units (pet lambs) and the
kids bus to the local school. My office faces North |

self employed maintenance engineer on Otairi Station, in the heart of the Rangitikei,
where I was responsible for maintaining the 'on farm' roads (16km of class 3 roading),
buildings, and water supply (50km on farm high pressure scheme, with over 200 troughs) as
part of the Rangitikei Rural Water Supply Scheme . I also was involved with the local Boy
