Welcome to my Bio

I am a born and bred Queenslander, now residing in Amberley. I am a Australian Regular Army
soldier and my love of the outdoors has played a large part in my becoming interested in
meteorites. I burst onto the scene three years ago when I became more focussed on meteorites
during my rehabilitation following knee surgery

My intial interest was hammers and I have a friendly competition with Michael Blood to
see who has the most hammers... Sorry Michael - I think I have more different
specimens but yours are larger damnit - I have tried to convince Michael to collect near
misses and maybe one day will...

My primary focus at the moment is Queensland Meteorites and I own many if not the majority
of the Queensland chondrite main masses... I have nearly assembled a complete Queensland
meteorite collection and am slowly tracking down those MIA

Plans for this year involve assembling a complete Queensland meteorite polished thin-section
collection and arranging EMP of older finds that have been classifed by Mark One eyeball
petrology alone

I had hoped that my website would inspire a new breed of parochial and patriotic websites
that would showcase other home state or home country collections - but alas not. If you are
reading this and are inspired - fill your boots

My interests at the moment are varied but I am dabbling in the marketing side of the house -
I am a strong believer in numbered limited edition sales with attractive packaging and also
am tinkering with a cart based sales system as the momentum behind sales...

My hobbies are fossicking, my olde upright arcade machine (Frogger rocks), terrestrial
stones with an interesting story, olde horror movies, tinkering with computers, olde 80s
hard rock particularly the new wave of British heavy metal (no didgeridoos Michael) outdoors
pursuits and growing old disgracefully

I hope that you all join Michael’s new friends page and that we all contribute something
lasting to our special hobby of meteorites
