Bio

A little about me:

My interests and my career support each other.

I love music, and as a result is a pianist and organist for a church.

I love teaching.  This love is enhanced by me often running creativity workshop, lecturing Business Administration and Strategy at a University on a Contract basis, and spend my time sharing ideas with friends and any-one else who are interested.
