Whether riding motorcycles, abseiling, flying or traveling off the beaten track, I seem to have been born with an propensity for risk taking which made it a natural choice for me to take up as a profession.
Although originally from Australia, I spend most of my time in Cambodia now, which I might add, is a thoroughly nice place to spend some time, and nowhere near as risky as it might sound. I still manage to make up for that relative lack of risk however, by traveling to interesting places on a regular basis. During the course of this nomadic life I've also managed to pick up some formal qualifications to complement my experiences and have been fortunate enough to be entrusted with assessing and managing risks for a variety of very interesting organisations.
My main motivation and interests lie in attempting to understand this complex and wonderful universe as best I can, and to help people achieve their objectives by sharing some practical information to help them make risk informed decisions. Current projects include writing a series of books on various aspects of risk management, which I'll publish as e-books at www.riskebooks.com, some of which may even hopefully go on to find a mainstream publisher. My first major writing project (co-authoring a book with the ambitious title of Security Risk Management Body of Knowledge) seemed rife with uncertainty for a first time author but I was fortunate enough with that one to have had a lot of help along the way so this title at least, has found a publisher.
