Quote: Being a gentleman means treating others, especially women, in a respectful manner, and not taking advantage or pushing others into doing things they choose not to do.
About Yourself: I grew up in the harsh Central Australian Deserts and was fascinated by the idea that animals actually lived in water. After starting with Goldfish I quickly progressed to Australian Natives and got involved in native fish conservation and captive breeding. After a stint as president of the South Australian Native Fish Association I move on to managing the Southern Eyre Marine Farm. I now work for the Government in an unrelated field and keep an Amazon theme display tank in my home.
