A pilgrim's progress

I found out when I came to Asia I discovered that I am a village man, a chao khao - a mountain man as they say in Thai. I spend a lot of time in the rural areas. Depending on the secret spring I find myself in I will work in the fields, in gardens, bathe in rivers, sleep in hammocks [the occasional cave will also do], and sit around the campfire at night singing and dancing to ancient tunes. I am at home. Friends will walk hand-in-hand with me and tell me that if they close their eyes and do not see my foreign features, they would swear we grew up together in the same  village. I am honoured to be in their company.

Otherwise I have over 30 years of experience of working and living across Asia [from the Middle East to the Southeast Asia]. I have a broad-based crosscutting background of skills and experience that deliver Result Oriented Programming, Team Leadership, and Management in cross-functional and multi-cultural environments. A long history of Human Resource Development, Research, Innovation, Technical Expertise, and Financial Management in the Public Sector, Public Health, and Business Development in North America, Europe, and Asia.
