Witnessing Neil Armstrong’s giant leap for mankind on black and white TV as an 11 year old had me hooked for life on space and spaceflight. I am also fascinated by the physics of the universe and a big fan of Hubble images. I have been playing with computers since 1980 and enjoy helping people get the most from them as my day job designing software for appliance retailers. When I am not working I am focused on my wife and two children, NZ rocketry, Toastmasters, yachting, soaring, skiing and more recently weather balloon photography.
