I live in Australia, although I have spent many years of my life growing up, getting educated and working in Europe and in Eastern and South-East Asia. My occupational background includes journalism, publishing and database management. I am interested in wildlife and ecology, with a special focus on the SE Asian and Australasian regions. I am also interested in the history, people, dynamics, organisations and sociopathology of the biological sciences and conservation of the natural environment.

If you wish to ask or to tell me something, please do so on my talk page, then watchlist it if you expect a reply as I will usually do so there. I prefer any such interchange to be in the one place for dialogual continuity.

Thank you for contributing professionally to quality articles on "wildlife and ecology, with a special focus on the SE Asian and Australasian regions", such as Pelican, "the most collaborative bird article", for creations such as Tasmanian Masked Owl (2054 today), for creating and adding categories (543 today), - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
