  • When I am not working: I spend at home with my family in my extensive garden and I love reading.
  • I wish I could: Become a part time successful inventor. Currently I have a number of projects underway. I have time to write another book or two as medicine has been fascinating for me. I would also like to spend more holiday time back in my native NZ.
