Retired New Zealand based IT professional who maintains his involvement with all things IT through Connect and the associated activities around High Availability and Advocacy. He has served on the New Zealand User Group and the Connect Board’s and the Connect Advocacy programme from its inception at the time of the Compaq/Digital merger to the present day where he is the current Chairman of the Connect Advocacy Committee. He has been involved with, and see the value in, the concept of IT practitioners supporting each other through user groups and has been a regular presenter of papers (and occasional best paper winner) at New Zealand and International user group meetings in a variety of areas. Is generally recognised as being either Santa Clause away from the North Pole or his brother!
As well as these activities he currently mentors and serves as Board Advisor and Director with an IT Start-up in New Zealand and is involved with a local Angels investment group where he was recently awarded the 2017/18 Due Diligence Master of the year award. He says this involvement helps keep his brain active and looks forward to the day that Angel investing in early stage companies will deliver a return!
