Analytical by nature and training, I spent decades in systems design and development. Entrepreneurial and independent by inclination, I spent a few years as a business analyst supporting emerging entrepreneurs. Passionate (to the point of being a junkie) about performing arts, particularly music and theatre, I spent five years as an arts administrator for a national organisation. "Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it." (attributed to Goethe, although exact origin and wording uncertain).
