I've had a long term career in consumer goods marketing for large international groups - Unilever, J&J, Brown Forman Beverages, Skins Compression Garments, Maybelline Cosmetics and others. Some might say this is the "dark side", however, I see it as it is, and I see the possibility of change building from consumer demand and generating into better products. Over consumerism is an issue, yet today, through the marvels of IT, collaborative consumption and shared community issues and outcomes are becoming more easily obtainable and do-able. I am a great user of AIRTASKER for example for supplementary income. I've spent the last 12 years working fro myself in various capacities - consulting, contracting, creating and coaching.

I have completed the TAFE Intro Permaculture course, PDC and Permaculture Teacher Training and have been involved in the 500 strong Permaculture Sydney North group - on and off!! I've run workshops and am a strong believer in taking Permaculture into the workplace, schools and community as a strong ethical and principled training tool.

Ive started a small perma-exercise business for myself which is all about de-powering the suburban garden, and getting exercise through physical garden activity .. no noise, no powered tools ... DE-LIGHTFUL!!! join the "quiet garden evolution" on facebook or at www.thequietgardener.com.au
