Objective

To seek a challenging position in diplomacy or higher management, possibly in a major non-government organisation. I have recently come to the end of my contract with King David High School and have purchased a small farm in the Bathurst area. My wife (a qualified Private Investigator for the State of Colorado) and I have started an Internet Research and Copywriting Business which we carry out from the farm.  I am a British citizen and presently a permanent resident in South Africa.
