The Beginning

I was born at 7:57 p.m. on January 20, 1970, in the Royal Brisbane Hospital, City of Brisbane,
Queensland, Australia.
History
Education

I started school in January 1975, shortly after my fifth birthday.  The school was called St. William's.  I changed schools for Grade Five in 1979, moving to Padua College.  I stayed at Padua until I graduated from high school in 1986.

In 1987, I started my B.A. at the
University of Queensland, with studies in linguistics, computer science, and psychology, which I completed in 1989.  In 1990, I earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology.  I took one year off my studies, then continued with my Master of Organisational Psychology degree in 1992.

In 1995, I came to Finland as an exchange student to complete credit for my studies at the
University of Joensuu.  My Master's degree was finally complete in October 1995.

Work Background
