I was born and have lived most of my life in Melbourne, Australia, and spent (too) many years studying and teaching at Monash University: I finished my B.Sc (Hons.) in 1989, my B.A. (Hons.) in 1992, and my PhD in 2001 in the School of Philosophy and Bioethics. From 2002 to 2005 I was employed as a research fellow in the School of Information Management and Systems at Monash (Caulfield). I also completed a Master of Environment degree in the Graduate Environmental Program at Melbourne University in 2005. I spent 2006 and the first half of 2007 working as a stay home dad, looking after my daughters Annalena and Bethany. Now I am employed in the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment working as a Project Officer on “Biodiversity Reporting”.
