    <about><![CDATA[I am born and raised in Auckland. I am married to my beautiful wife Vangie, and we have two boys aged 9 and 4. I love Tai Chi (Chen style) and recently started Aikido too. In the future I plan to develop a health retreat where people can come to relax, train in their tai chi and re-energise. I have a passion for arts and crafts and have spent many years doing hobby ceramics. I have recently read Hands of Light and am looking to further my healing abilities. For about the last 8 years I have been working in the Software industry as a tester or QA Team Lead. I enjoy meeting and networking with people from all around the globe. Maybe one day our paths will cross and I will get to meet you in person. ]]></about>
