Hobbies: Travel, Golf, Wood working, Hiking
I traveled extensively in my early career. Taking a year off work to traverse South and Central America, 3 months to travel the Indian subcontinent and 4 months to travel through Europe. Travel remains a passion but I now restrict it to periods of annual leave. When travelling I tend to favor areas of natural beauty and enjoy hiking in the wilderness.
Word working is a hobby I have enjoyed as a creative outlet away from a job which can be highly technical, protocol defined and computer based. It is an extension of my enjoyment for finding creative, pragmatic and innovative solution in a physical hands on environment.
Golf is the sport which i participate in the most. I enjoy the outdoor and scenic environment and the chance to always improve accuracy and mental focus.
