I am entrepreneurial by nature with a few business interests, ventures and projects.  Having spent many years in business, international development and third sector communities, I spend as much time as I can catching up with the more creative side of life.   I enjoy spending time reading the scriptures, cooking, gardening and travelling.  I am also a gadget nerd! I love growing my mind and challenging my perceptions.   I keep an open mind and prefer to work with strengths in people and situations.
