Additional information

High level consulting assignments for various donor organizations in financial sector development and banking sector reforms. Over the past ten-years, I have spent most of my time in Cenral Asia and South East Asia and those countries are always close to me. I am continually researching material for new books. There are two books published and two more unpublished at this point, but planned for later this year. Those books are currently being considered by a publisher. Leaving It Behind was self published by the author in Australia during Novemebr 2004 and is being distributed throughout Australia.
