Involved in HiFi since my Father built his own speakers and cabinetry whilst I was growing up in the 60's.
I hold a PhD in Leadership Psychology, now running a couple of master degrees in research and eLearning for a private education institution in Melbourne Australia.
I have a strong natural curiosity to learn more about what’s best.

Hi Fi is my number 1 interest followed by book writing.
Movies and Home Cinema are included in my definition of hifi.

Moved back to Melbourne in Jan 2022 after 7 years in the Middle East and 22 years in Singapore.
