The person.

I have a family; my wife Tracey, whom I met when I was 14 years old and two daughters aged 16 and 14. I live on a small lifestyle block halfway between Hamilton and Raglan.

I am an avid motorcyclist. I enjoy touring around New Zealand, finding complex roads with great scenery. My managerial and communication skills have seen me representing motorcyclists in parliament during the ACC levy change proposals in 2009. I met with Honourable Dr Nick Smith, the Minster for ACC.

I like rock fishing and have spent many weekends climbing over rocks, walking down narrow bush tracks, and wading through rocky shoreline to find the ultimate rock fishing spot.

Other places you will find me.

Here is a few website that I own, each of which represents a different part of my life:

• wiki.loudas.com: a place where I store the odd snippet of information for myself.
• MandrivaUsers: My most successful personal venture.
• TerminalAddict: My personal motorcycle blog.
• Jabber.co.nz: Where I run a very successfully chat service.
• YeahNah: Where I tried to make my chat service commercial.
• TivoCentral: A site I started to let TiVo hackers swap stories.
• McRides: A forum for motorcyclists to chat.
