Firstly, Welcome to my Website and Blog!

With a passion for computers and the internet from a young age I quickly left High School to open my own Computer and Mobile Phone shop.

Growing up in small towns in Country Queensland Australia gave me a better understanding of the needs of local communities.

I enjoyed assisting business adapt to the use of Computers and Mobile phones for the first time in the early 1990’s and this gave me a passion for assisting clients adapt to the adoption of early and cutting edge technology.

I have become well know in recent years as an expert on Computer and internet Security and the fast-moving developments towards Cloud computing and applications.

I created and managed Australia’s largest Fax Marketing Database with over 2.6 Million active records. This quickly made me very successful at marketing to Australian Business clients. Still to this day many clients continue to have and use Fax Machines while moves have moved towards email or Fax to Email solutions it’s still a considerably large database and clients respond better than email and other forms of marketing.

I moved on from this success to study and investigate the fast moving and changing world of Social Media Marketing and have already assisted a number of companies to quickly grow market share and profitable Social Media Marketing strategies.

Giving a full background into my experiences is impossible.

One of the main reason is that I have worked with a number of Government Departments and multinational corporations and signed and agreed to complete privacy. As such I am unable to disclose any details other than to note my experiences and skills my assistance was contracted for. 

• Big Data collection and analysis
• Assistance to access Encrypted Devices
• Investigation of Data Breaches
• Staff Training of Safe Computer usage practices
• Recovery from Ransom and Hacking related events
• Locate and collect data for persons of interest online
• Computer, Network, Server and Application Security Testing
