| Massey University - Transport Design |
| My other passion: |
| Spirit 33 - entertainment system "Spirit 33" of New Zealand yachts is NOT my design, although I do like it. As a summer job, I had a part in installing her extensive entertainment system. |
| Concept Boat 2003 SHARX was an idea I developed in 2003 for a towed submersible, to be operated like a rollercoaster. It was entered into the 2003 Concept Boat international design competition run by the Royal Society of Naval Architects, making the shortlist. Please see here and here . |
| Noble House - entertainment system Just like New Zealand Yachts "Spirit 33", I had a part in installing the comprehensive ($750,000 NZD) entertainment system aboard this Sensation Yachts "Noble House" |

| Car modification I am also a petrol head and get my hands dirty working on my car, a 1989 Subaru Vortex, every chance I get. |
| Various projects Whenever I see a chance to impove my efficiency or productivity, I try to do so, often by custom-making stuff myself |
