My greatest passion in life is the welfare of all animals and the protection of the natural environment. I was a police officer for seven years; I then left to pursue my passion. My long term goal is to one day work in the field with the Orang-utan, Mountain gorilla and chimpanzee. My best mate is my seven year old red cloud kelpie cross staffy, her name is Bella and we are inseparable. The Things that I detest most in life are cruelty, ignorance, injustice and disrespect! I have amazing parents that raised myself and my two older brothers, to respect love and protect all of mother natures' creations. I have a beautiful partner who shares my love for animals and the environment. I love photography and I enjoy photographing animals particularly in their natural environments. Bella is a little movie star when ever the camera comes out she loves to have her picture taken. I have been photographing her since she was five weeks old and she never ceases to amaze me as she is constantly coming up with something new for me to capture. I appreciate that you have taken the time to learn a little about me and I hope with all my heart that I can be part of this project. I have a few links to add that will take you to some very important and helpful websites to do with palm oil, illegal logging in Kalimantan and gold mining on the Sekonya River. Please visit them and also post on your facebook page for all your contacts to see the damage we are doing.
