Sources & editorial methodology
This website combines the supplied 2016 biography with public company records, company publications and award-organiser archives. It does not silently turn a private assertion into a verified public fact.
Editorial note
The 2016 book is detailed, visual and written as an award submission. It is treated as the principal source for childhood, education, early career, RACS history, historic scale, community work and awards up to that date. Later developments are drawn from public records and published company or award material. Private consultancy assignments and business exits are described only at a high level unless independent evidence is available.

Claims treated as supplied biography
Privacy and proportionality
The supplied PDF contains historic personal contact details, residential information and sensitive family material. This public website does not reproduce private telephone numbers, personal email addresses, full residential addresses or unnecessary health information. Family is included only at the level needed to explain values, motivation and public community involvement.
The site also avoids naming individuals in old disputes beyond what is needed to explain the career lesson. A biography can be candid without becoming intrusive.
Update control
Before publishing new awards, exits, directorships or quantitative claims, add the source to this register and date the update. This preserves the distinction between marketing copy and verifiable biography.
