ABOUT ME

Married for 10 years now and .... whoops 11 years now and we have just decided that we have time to go travelling .... so heading off for 6 months in June '11?..

I work as an Arborist and got into Tree work about 9 years ago and I'm still working for the same company in New Zealand. Our division works mainly in Utilities (power lines) but we also do a lot of private work.

I play guitar and bass but mainly play the drums. Have played in a number of bands but have long since given up being a rockstar and now generally just jam with friends ... Fun!

Love my wife and my job and my friends and my family.

Enjoy cooking and eating good real food- local wines are a must! .... oh and good Kiwi Craft beer!

Love fishing and driving around the country in our wee camper van checking out new places ...

2015 UPDATE ....

Now working for another ARB Consultancy Company.

Music, Movies, and Books

I will listen to any music with an open ear and always find something positive about it .
But I do have certain tastes that must be catered for ...

Think Zappa circa '68-'73/'74!! .... Bowie-The Cure-Primus-The Beat-Kyuss-Led Zep-Trinity Roots-Stevie Wonder-Johnny Cash-Art Blakey-Beastie Boys-Miles-the Mint Chicks-the Kinks-Aretha-Shellac-Bob Marley-the Pixies-The Beatles-Buzzcocks-Jimi Hendrix-the Cramps-H.D.U-Human Instinct-Tapes 'n Tapes-Jeff Buckley-The Stranglers-Toy Love-Jonathan Richman ...

MOVIES ... I love heartwarming stories like Amelie and drug addled fuck ups like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas .... prefer the dark story of the anti-hero rather than light and too fluffy.
