I am a CEO from Melbourne Australia. I have been supporting and encouraging use of Wikipedia and Open Source Software in schools since 2003.

As CEO and co-founder of Split Pea Technologies which provides the BrightSparks Product Suite, I lead a full and exciting life and together with my excellent team I enjoy steering the principals and products of my company and clients to meet the growing demand for Open Source Systems.

My hobbies include playing the Guitar, playing Water polo and supporting a variety of opinionated groups.

My Work hobbies include supporting the growth of technical knowledge in schools and generally presenting and supporting the use of Open Source Software and information sources such as Wikipedia. I support programs such as Principal For A Day, Go Girl Go for IT and am an Active role model for female students in selected schools.

 * There is a difference between questioning and negating, intelligent people question, other people just negate.


 * Wealth is a philosophy that is different to us all
