Biography

I am a retired male nurse, married with three grown up sons, who have all left home to pursue their own interests in life. My wife and I moved from Toowoomba in south east Queensland in October 2015 to Brookfield a suburb in Brisbane Queensland (QLD). We made the move to be closer to family. In December 2018 we moved to Nundah Queensland to move even closer to family.
Brisbane is the capital city of Queensland. Queensland is famous for the Gold Coast and the Great Barrier Reef. Brisbane is situated on the Brisbane River and is known as the 'River City'. It is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city.
I am a Christian and I fellowship with like minded Christians. I enjoy writing, reading my Bible and Christian books. I tend to read non-fiction books in my spare time. My interests are my family, writing, bible study, beach walking, car touring, gospel preaching and bible teaching.

Describe your desk
My desk is a wooden desk with a hutch. The hutch houses different books and stationery items. It is not a neat and tidy desk as I tend to need things I am working on, on my desk. Out of sight out of mind can be a problem for me. My laptop usually sits on my desk plugged into power and the USB ports have peripherals such as my printer, mouse, additional hard drive and memory stick attached.
