Hi {insert your name here},
I trust that you have seen a few of this sites' pages and hopefully it has been appealing. I have tried to make a personal site, but one that is worthy of being published on the Internet. But you might actually be interested in knowing a bit about me. So please view my Facebook profile or read on and especially go to the Mexico section.
So that you can send me secure/signed encrypted emails here is my public GPG Key.
When I first started this web site, I was a student of a Christian run cross-cultural training centre, in Launceston Tasmania, Australia. The college is called Worldview and has been in operation since 1956. More than1000 people have graduated since its conception and currently there are about 50 students doing the various programs. I graduated from Worldview Bible College on December 8 2001.

In 2001 I was at bible college and we went to a firends Indonesian restaurant that he was closing soon. It was a great night. I celebrate my birthday each year with my twin sister Roslyn.
Prior to coming to Worldview I was working for Scripture Union/Youth Concern on Queenslands Gold Coast. I did this for 3 years and mainly taught high school Religious Education. During my time on the coast I also lived with young people as I was a Resident Master at the exclusive private school, TSS (The Southport School).
Life on the Gold Coast was great and it was during this period of time that I learned to ride a bodyboard. I was actively involved in the ministry of Christian Surfers and had heaps of good fun and fellowship with the other members. In late 1998 I got to surf in Mexico during a two month mission exposure trip. Until going to a place with perfect waves and warm water, I didn't realise that such idealic places actually exist.
After completing school at Wavell High in Brisbane I did a four year apprenticeship as a carpenter. I didn't mind it and now have the trade and the many skills that this teaches. I see myself as an overly qualified handyman and really only do carpentry as a hobby or to pay some bills. (It can have good financial rewards).
After bible college in Tasmania, I moved to Melbourne where I was working mainly as a website designer but still did a few jobs as a carpenter. Occassionally I still get the time to webmaster for a few other web sites.
I married the lovely Vanessa on June 8 2002 and in April 2005 Priscila was born to us. Our second child Joel arrived in September 2006. After relocating to Mexico in October 2007, we welcomed Olivia into our family in October 2008. Our most recent edition is Ruben who joined us in October 2010.
My wife and I are members of Diamond Valley Baptist Chuch but we don't there too often. We are currently joint missionaries of Pioneers & Christian Surfers.
