Amassing an Audience

I retired in July 2010 after working in the education sector for 33 years as a Technical Officer and later Information Systems Consultant. Previous to this I worked in the private sector after coming out of RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology). I have a workshop where I can do many things like woodworking, electrical, electronics, auto and computers etc.
