I commenced my career as a Geological Cartographer, working in Australia and New Guinea mapping mostly in remote and desolate areas. Moving into computer aided mapping in the late 70’s, I quickly mastered software and marketing related to Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CADCAM) with Computervision. In the early 80s, My wife Jo and I moved to Singapore for 2 years, to become ASEAN Countries Manager for Computervision. After a year back in Australia, we then moved to Boston Massachusetts to take up a senior international marketing role with Computervision. Since returning to Australia in the early 90s, I continued in senior marketing roles with technology based organisation.
In 1999 I joined Network 21 as Marketing & Operations Manager. I served in this role for 16 years, creating many successful marketing campaigns, creating and launching e-Commerce web site around the world, speaking from stage to very large audiences on Marketing and e-Commerce, and involved in video/audio editing of thousands of commercial products. I became 'semi-retired' in July 2015, contracting to a number of organisations to support their marketing and social media efforts.
