He writes with an Australian accent and an endearing Australian sense of Humour. As a Teacher, University Lecturer and Principal of a Primary School he has told many a tale to keep his audience motivated. His undergraduate studies focussed on Psychology, History and Philosophy. His Master's and Doctoral Studies were centred on the Change Process. He also holds degrees in drama and commercial art. As a Principal of a Primary School he scheduled himself to teach drama to every class each week. In this capacity he was called upon to write numerous plays and stories for both children and adults.
He is a professional actor and has done many performances both on the stage and on television. He has also had small parts for the big screen.
He was raised on Chalnooka Farm in Geraldton West Australia and Maddington a suburb of Perth, West Australia. His travels have taken him to the major countries in the world. He was invited with his wife to set up a Peace camp in South Korea by UNESCO but lack of funds prevented the project to come to fruition. He has written three family histories: Murphy's of Chalnooka, A Century of Reardons, Honour through Work-the Stumpo Family.
He currently resides in Abu Dhabi where he is writing full time with the occasional teaching duty.view less
