How long have you been a member at the AIPM?
I joined the AIPM in 1989 and the annual fee was $70.00. I was based in Brisbane at the time.
What has been the greatest benefit of being an AIPM member?
Definitely the extensive network of people, both professionally and socially.
How did you get into Project Management?
I always found project controls to be of particular interest during my studies and after qualifying as a builder in the UK in 1971 I undertook various scheduling roles. In 1986 I started my own business and since then my primary focus has been project management, and specifically project controls.
What is your most memorable experience?
Raising the first flag up the mast at Parliament House.
What are your interests outside of Project Management?
I enjoy spending time with my 10 grandkids as well as other family, and am a keen gardener
