About me

I live in Perth, West Australia. I work primarily as a database consultant, specialising in the Informix database engine, but I have a few other interests on the side. While this site was primarily intented to promote my consulting services , there is also a lot here about fishing!

Fishing

This is the real reason behind all the other activities. It has been said that "work fills in the time between fishing trips". This is true for me. My favourite type of fishing is sport fishing and game fishing. To me these are the two most exiting types of fishing and involve travel to all parts of Australia chasing the elusive "big one". To find out more go here for a rundown of my fishing activities, as well as some pictures of my favourite catches.
