I'm an Australian, based in the Washington, DC, area of the United States. I spend a lot of time there with Jasmine, Australia's best-known speedsolver of the Rubik's Cube. Prior to the US, Jasmine and I were based in London, UK. We have also lived previously in the United States and Australia.

I have worked for an Australian business rules and compliance company since 1999 in Australia, the US and the UK. I have also lectured in IT and Law related topics at King's College, London, and at The Australian National University.

I have some more information and a list of publications available (pop-up window).

UK Rubik's Open 2006

Jasmine and I attended the UK Rubik's Open in Leeds on 18 November, 2006.

Jasmine has posted her own entry about the event, including some links to results. She had a great event, including several personal best times and Australian national records. I entered the Rubik's Clock and Rubik's Magic events. Because Jasmine does not put much effort into the Magic puzzle, my average time for solving the Magic in the competition (3.75 seconds) was an Australian record!

I have now posted my competition photos online.

I also have a video (beware: ~38 MB download!) of Jasmine racing the Rubot II cube-solving robot. I have a couple of other videos, too, which I may post at a later date.
