Hello,

I am interested in how people think and learn and more importantly how to learn to think, something I believe is declining in our society.

Hence I would like to be able to give something back and contribute along these lines.

I value Respect! Respect for people, skills, knowledge, ideas, truth and honesty.

I am from here, but given my interests and values, i'm not sure I am in the right place. I physically reside in Newcastle, Australia.

I have had a good life so far and am lucky to be semi retired fairly early.

I have had an amazingly lucky career masquerading as an engineer and have travelled widely.

My career expertise is in reliability engineering, asset management and systems engineering. (BE Hons. Mech, Post Grad. Dip. Management)

I believe I can contribute in this area, but I believe the greatest benefits can be achieved through looking at these areas from a sociological viewpoint.

I freely acknowledge that I am a little lost and looking for something.

If you think you may have found it, I would love to hear about it.

Regards, Mark
