Hobbies and Interests include...

I am interested in television and video production, especially camera work
and editing. This interest was expanded after taking two full time video
courses and after doing work experience at Massey University Television
Production Centre in Palmerston North.

Radio Announcing, doing radio announcing on `RadMass' in Palmerston North.
Quite often from 6am 'til 10am on Saturday mornings.

Computers, I've just started learning to program in Assembler on my Amiga
500 computer. I also have a strong interest in the Public Domain scene and
soon will start up a Public Domain distribution for Amiga owners.

Electronics, although only basic electronics at the moment, I am always
trying to create various circuits.  I have made a simple 4 input stereo
mixer and mike pre-amp.

I am keen to undertake further study to obtain further qualifications
and skills.

Key work skills valued by employers have included my ability to work well
with people, keyboard experience, good telephone manner, general good
health and grooming, punctuality, and being a team-worker.
