About Me: I have taught PDHPE at Rooty Hill High School for 4 years. I consult to the Outdoor Education Industry on facilitation and leadership in Outdoor Education and have a partnership in Eclipse Fitness a small personal training business specialising in elite athlete development.

A special aptitude in technology has led me in the past two years to shift towards technology in education. I am heavily involved in the Wiimote Project http://www.wiimoteproject.com building on Johnny Chung Lee's hacking of the Nitendo Wii Remote as a low cost interactive whiteboard. I am also passionate about focusing on the pedagogy of technology rather than technology as a gizmo fest.

My qualifications include; Masters of Health Education & Physical Education, Graduate Certificate of Outdoor Education, Bachelor of Health & Physical Education, Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing), Cert IV in Master Personal Trainer, Cert IV in Assessment & Workplace Trainer and Cert III in Public Safety. I am currently completing my Diploma of Outdoor Recreation and Doctor of Education at the University of Wollongong.
