    • Life Coach and Consultant:
    I offer personal life coaching and life skills consulting through Creative Pursuits LLC. Life coaching is about assisting people to have more of what they want in life and less of what they don't. I am passionate about making things, and making things happen, and helping others to do the same!

    Kayaking:
    My interest in kayaking and love of teaching are combined in my kayak rolling instructional page. See it for ways to improve your paddling skills without leaving the comfort of your living room or back yard.

    The Folly:
    The Folly is a new detached extension at my family home in Somers (Australia). It provides a wonderful "home base" when I am in Australia and a permanent home for belongings with sentimental value. When I am not in residence, it is available to guests and visitors, see www.thefolly.com.au

    Woodwork:

    Travel to Australia:
    I am interested in sharing the wonders of Australia (especially landscapes and animals) with small groups of interested people. Although I could potentially take people to any part of Australia, the areas with which I am most familiar are found in Queensland and Victoria. I'd like to play "native guide" for visitors who want to a personalised vacation in the great southern continent.
