A little about me
Grab a cup of coffee, kick back and explore my previous jobs

Who doens't love badminton. I play several times per week at recreational & private clubs.
On road, off road or just riding with the kids. Biking has been a great activity my entire life.
A much more recent interest. From designing a gizmo in CAD to simply downloading and printing a model. It's fun to watch an idea come to life.
Rather than shoot the parts cannon at a broken car, I enjoy the thrill of chasing the problem and using a sound thought process.
