Hi all,

I'm a 32 y.o. professional who has travelled around the world for the past 8 years for business and had the chance to kite in the best spots of the world. Now that my 2 boys are getting old enough to go to school, we wanted a place to settle down and we chose Perth for its excellent wind condition, spots and lifestyle.

It's been 3 months we arrived and the place is above our expectations. Living and kiting here is just great! And the people are so nice. I often say that Aussies don't realize how lucky they are

Anyway, it's been 2 months I'm looking for new job. I'm a Project Manager in IT and have excellent qualifications and experience, so it should not be too hard but it's taking ages and I'd love to work with colleagues sharing the same passion. It would be great if the kitesurf community could assist me a bit. So if you're working in an IT or consulting company that might be interested by my profile, please contact me (details below).

If you're looking for a kite buddy, please contact me too.
