My home in the expanse of the internet...
I am a solicitor in Sydney, Australia. My practice focuses on wills and estates and elder law, with additional work in conveyancing, commercial law and leases.
Before becoming a lawyer, I spent over twenty-five years in the construction industry.
Outside work, my main roles are husband and father, and when time permits (often with a gin and tonic), I enjoy dabbling in software development and I am an aspiring fisherman who does not get nearly enough time on the water.
