What I Love - Hobbies

- I love staying up-to-date with the amazing evolution of technology and using it to bring
creative ideas to life.

Welcome to my personal corner of the web!
I enjoy challenges while I am passionate about nature, creativity, and a love for my family.
Here is a glimpse into what makes me tick.

- Kayaking at the Hinze dam -

- In Brisbane QLD, for “4EB”, 98.1 FM. Here, on the 1st. October, 2020 I recorded and conducted a program with a special guest artist, the famous singer Teresa Dáttoli, from the Argentine 'Duo Flash')

“Strange is our situation here upon earth.
Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why,
yet sometimes seeming to hint at a divine purpose.
From the standpoint of daily life, however,
there is one thing we do know:
that man is here for the sake of other men”
- Albert Einstein -

- In Canberra ACT, I used to do sound setup,
live recordings, and broadcasting for the former “Canberra Stereo Public Radio” (CSPR), 92.7 FM.

- Whale watching and bush walking -

Personal Interests & Creative Ventures

** Nature & The Great Outdoors **

- I am deeply passionate about nature and finding adventure in the beautiful Australian landscape. On any given day, you might find me:

• Out on the Water: If not swimming on the ocean, enjoying a peaceful day kayaking with my wife and granddaughters on many creeks and lakes. Also, sometimes filming with my drone.

• Exploring: Going for long beach and bush walks.

• Wildlife Watching: Spotting majestic creatures while bird and whale watching on boat excursions, filming and recording them.

• Traveling: Exploring new places and experiencing different cultures.

** Creativity, Media & Technology **

• Multimedia Production: Volunteering technical support for fine art platforms, including video editing, subtitling, and managing digital art galleries as my wife’s personal website here.

• My Radio & Sound Engineering Journey:
  - In Canberra ACT, I used to do sound-setup and recordings on NRS recording studio for musicians, live recordings using a portable 40 channel mixer and microphones in two consecutive “National Folk Festivals” at the ANU and Gorman House in the years 1991 and 1992, private and community party events, and broadcasting for the former “Canberra Stereo Public Radio” (CSPR), 92.7 FM on the radio station. I have done many other outdoor recordings requested by the radio station.
