About Me



In Sri Lanka, working for an NGO, running a school that teaches Prosthetics and Orthotics. Australian, but haven't lived there for six years - Japan and Cambodia before Sri Lanka - but as the cliche goes...still call Australia home.My wife, Ryoko, is Japanese and has always loved travelling and experiencing new things. Yuki, our wonderful baby girl, was born on the 3rd March 2007. We are just getting used to the whole parent thing.

My Interests

Ecletic... Internet, new ideas, sports (more watching than playing, but always willing to look like a fool), theatre / drama, pc games, the beach, bodysurfing, fantasy fiction, travel (obviously!)

I'd like to meet:

People who are into more than their I-Pods, phones and fashion. People who have an interest in the world around them and alternative outlooks on life.

Music:



Again eclectic....Tori Amos to Tool. Anything that has artistic merit and real talent. Oh, and of course, good ol' Aussie pub rock! Not interested in plastic pop and most MTV shite...and I guess showing my age I find most rap to be derivative. (Although do acknowledge that Eminem and 50cent have a little something.)

Movies:

I'm a bloke most of the time - Action and Comedy. The nerd in me loves Sci-Fi and I can't tell you how many times I have watched Star Wars. Movies that have something different or worthwhile also make the cut.

Television:

Ummm... Current events / news, Comedies, Documentaries, Adventure... usually what is on between channel surfing.

Books:

Mostly Fantasy or Sci-Fi Fiction - Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Stephan Donaldson, Douglas Adams, Ben Elton.
Magazines - Economist, great news magazine!

Heroes:

My wife, the lovely Ryoko!
Otherwise, Rudy - you have to see the movie...melodramatic and sentimental, but great.
