Being a spectacularly unsuccessful professional actor for a few years
I'd love more info on that but I guess you don't have an IMDB profile...
I did check......
Certainly an interesting thread VS -
"Pivotal Moments".... God, there must be so many! Thinking about the main ones, I guess the first would have to be my father's decision to take a job in Zambia as an Engineering Manager on a Copper Complex. I was just 6 weeks old at the time, so was brought up in Zambia (and later South Africa) until the age of around 10'ish when we moved back to the UK...... A wonderful experience and even for one so young, I had the "Travel Bug"!
Deciding to pursue engineering (like father like son), initially Process (Chemical) and then Mechanical - an industry/career which has taken me all over the world, to places good, bad and indifferent...... as I type, I'm sat in a site office on a Gold Mine in Verninskoye, Eastern Siberia (a little cooler than Hua Hin
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
).
Whilst working on a large project in China, my company asked if I would be willing to base myself there on a more permanent basis in order to support both the Chinese and Asian markets. I duly accepted and based myself in Chongqing where I lived for 15 years and where I met my beautiful now wife, the Long Haired General - some 18 years ago.
We're now living in the UK and on the next chapter - although obviously I still haven't lost the travel bug.... just yet anyway!
