For as long as I can remember I've been fascinated with technology and its application to society. I first became involved in technology as a vocation when, at the age of 16, I joined the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as an Electronics Technician. I completed my apprenticeship in electronics with the RAAF and served as an Airman for 10 years...
I left the RAAF to join a software company called Aspect Computing. I spent the next couple of years as an infrastructure engineer, helping with tender responses in my spare time. I also served as Aspect's IT manager.
