Rod Elliott is based in Sydney (Australia), where he lived for the majority of my life.
He's a QbE (Qualified by Experience) engineer - he has an official qualification., but they are relatively meaningless without experience and background - he consider them to be 'unimportant'. He worked in the electronics, audio, computer and the telecommunications industries for over 50 years, and have developed a number of products which in their time received critical acclaim. At this stage of his career (Definition: to rush or hurtle with much speed but little or no control) he has no real desire to re-enter the rush and bustle of commercial enterprise, but one cannot still a lifelong passion.
