Background
 I am a New Zealand based consulting engineer with experience in all aspects of the power industry.  While my main interest is in hydropower, I have experience in wind, solar, tidal and wave power.  I have also worked on substations and transmission lines, on diesel, steam and gas turbine stations and I have had some involvement in nuclear power. My academic qualifications include a Masters degree in power system design and I am a Distinguished Fellow of Engineering New Zealand, a Fellow of  the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and a retired Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
 I have acted as a consultant on many overseas projects in developing countries.  This has included work for the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and as independent advisor on dam projects in India, Pakistan, West Africa and Afghanistan.
I have been married for 50 years and we have a son and a daughter - both are engineers.
 My recreational interests are sailing, windsurfing, and rowing. I recently won a gold medal at the World Masters Games for winning the single sculls race in the 80+ age group.
You can contact me via the form on the following page.

My Book
  In February 2014 my book "Small Hydroelectric Engineering Practice" was published by CRC Press.  The book covers all the steps involved in developing small hydropower schemes  from initial identification right through to operation and maintenance.  It covers hydro schemes from 500 kW to 50 MW. All the reviews have been positive.
  There is more information on the page "My Book"
