Hello and welcome to my little bit of this curious web site. 

I am married to a wonderful Nurse (Deb) and I have two daughters Elizabeth and Georgia.

I am an IT&C Manager for NAS Insurance Brokers in Perth, Western Australia.  I hold an MCSE, MCSA and MCT.  I started at NAS in Perth on the 7th of November 2007.

Please feel free to take a look at Jedi this is an Intranet site that I built and continue to maintain.  I built Jedi for my students back in 1997 and it continues to grow.  Jedi contains literally hundreds of links and will keep you amused for hours if you let it.

Work life Updates...

November 2nd 2007

It's all good.  I am yet again changing my place of employment.  I have accepted a role as IT&C Manager at NAS Insurance.
This will be a departure from my Engineering/Training roles but I am thoroughly looking forward to the challenges that lay ahead.  Of course this means no more technical training, so to all my students I wish you luck and I hope that we will catch up during the future in that small town called Perth ;-)  I will maintain Jedi for a while yet but I may not update it like I would if I were conducting courses.

A week is a short time in IT, let me expand...
I have eagerly accepted a position at Dimension Data Learning Solutions http://www.ddls.com.au/ as a Technical Instructor.  This is almost the identical role I currently provide at Alphawest.  As many of you will already be aware DDLS have been Alphawest Training's friendly competitor since the very early days.  I will start with DDLS on the 10th of April so I will let you know my contact details sometime after that.
Hope to see you on a course again soon in the future.

Well I guess it is....so long and thanks for all the fish?
Alphawest have decided to close the training centre down after many years of great service to Western Australia.
I have accepted the option of a redundancy package and have decided to leave Alphawest under my own steam to pursue alternate options.  As a 10.5 year veteran I decided it was time to go,  I am really excited about the future despite the bad thoughts the term redundancy brings to most people.  My last day with Alphawest will be the 24th of February.
