Married to Jessica (Taiwanese born) and have 2 daughters, oldest aged 10 and the youngest 4. I am 40 and an Australian CUSTOMS Officer based at Waterfront Operations Brisbane. I was born in Dane End (nr Ware), Hertfordshire, England and moved to Australia in 1973.

My amateur interests are DXing, Contesting and collecting QSL cards. Favourite bands are the higher HF bands. I was first licenced in Feb 2004 (VK4HLP).
