Profile
I'm an Australian ex-pat scientist living working in Belgium. I have lived in Adelaide and Canberra in Australia, Seattle in the US and also Leuven and Brussels in Belgium. When work leaves me spare time I love to explore the world with my wonderful bride.

Toleration ought in reality to be merely a transitory mood. It must lead to recognition. To tolerate is to affront.
- Goethe
