Personal Information

Family Details

To paraphrase Orson Scott Card I am a:

• husband for 29 years to Dawn, an ordained priest and school chaplain in the Anglican Church of Australia;
• father to
  • Mark - Public Servant, Canberra
  • Iain - Honours in International Studies, Monash University
• christian
• lapsed 'cellist (I really should practice more often)
• vegetarian
• environmentalist
• Myers-Briggs: INTJ
• and left-hander.

Given all those wonderful things in my life, being paid to do what I enjoy doing anyway (read, think, and plan) is a bonus.

The family menagerie currently consists of the chooks, Aung San Suu Kyi, our independent Burmese cat who is held under permanent house arrest, and Sascha the Saluki.

Interests

My favourite ways to spend my time are activities with the family, growing fruit and vegetables in the back garden, and reading. Playing the 'cello would be on the list, if I could just summon the energy to do the practice required to get my skills back up to the point where it was enjoyable rather than painful.

The sporting activities I enjoy doing most are cycling and swimming. Cycling is how I get to work. Like most people, I find it difficult to motivate myself to exercise, so riding the 15 kilometers between work and home is the best way for me to stay fit. My bicycle is currently over 23 years old and has now travelled over 150,000 kilometers. I'll probably upgrade it sometime over the next decade or so. I also usually try to fit in a swim session of 1 kilometer a week.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Arts with first-class honours, majors in Germanic Languages and Linguistics, Melbourne University, 1980. Thesis topic: Een computer-analyse van een nederlandse landelijk roman (A computer analysis of a Dutch regional novel) - in PDF.

Teaching

I am now no longer an academic (although I think I will always be a teacher in some sense), and I am now employed by Monash University as the lead agent for ANDS. During the 15 years I worked at Deakin University (and its antecedent institution Victoria College) I taught across a very wide range of information management and computing units, including:

• Data Communication and Electronic Information Sources
• Electronic Document Design
• Topics in Information Retrieval (with Malcolm Campbell)

Current Employment

I am currently employed as Director of Technology for the Australian National Data Service (ANDS). Prior to that I was Foundation Director, Department of Information Management and Strategic Planning in the Division of Information Technology Services at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

Until 1999 I was a Senior Lecturer in Information Management in the School of Computing and Mathematics at Deakin University.
