Just past 50, half century, and married for 30+ years, four adult children.

Recently jumped off a cliff in Queenstown NZ – canyon swing – just to show the kids, I still have the edge!

Have travelled extensively and lived for long periods in New Zealand, Europe and Western Australia.

Favourite sports are golf and snow skiing.

University educated in business, accounting and tax, and with senior professional experience of 30 years since qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1990. First senior appointment was as manager of a business advisory and tax team at Deloitte.

In the mid 90’s did 2 years voluntary service in Zurich, Switzerland with a Christian youth church. On return joined with my old boss as partner in a Chartered Accounting firm, Hanaray Donaldson. We ran a successful business advisory and tax practice together for 5 years.

Moved back to Switzerland in 2001 for more work and travel experience in Europe. Joined UBS Bank in Zurich in senior financial controller role.

Since 2006, I have been an active Dad, a business coach, retailer (through the GFC), more learning at University, and a Chartered Accountant based in Perth.

I have always shown a passion and commitment to those around me, to discover and exceed their potential, and achieve their life aspirations. Stepping out of the box, to do the extraordinary! Carpe diem!
