Of European parents I was born in Africa. Until arriving in Australia at the age of 10 I was "and son" on my fathers passport as no country wanted to take responsibility for me! *Evil Grin* I have been in Australia ever since. The rest of the world is facinating, but there is so much of Australia that I have not seen and it is all amazing.

Started work in computers but very soon realised how quickly they were spreading and how quickly I would be overtaken by younger and better people so I moved where all no hopers go ... into management. Eventually picked up a MBA and 6 months later I was running my first motel in country Victoria. For the next 15 or so years I moved about Victoria with various motels, restaurants and (believe it or not) a video rental store. Yea, I like variety.

Then in the first 3 months of 2010 I lost 3 very important members of family. My cats that had been with me for the past 18 years. After a lot of soul searching I decided it was time for a change. I needed to stop working on work and start catching up with friends and family. I also desperately needed to put some fun into my life. So I got rid of everything, moved up here to the Gold Coast.

Currently I work week-ends in hospitality. This means that my "week-end" is Tuesdays and Wednesdays. When I am at work I am constantly on call. Therefore, my preference initially is to meet people during my free time only. I would hate to be about to "solve the world's problems" only to be interrupted by work.

Someone to help me put some fun into my life.

In the words of The Highwaymen "If you don't take a chance, the angels won't dance". I want to see the angels dance.
