He first qualified as a teacher, taught for a period, then realized that he had to follow his fascination with geology so completed his MSc in this discipline at Auckland University. He then spent over ten years working world-wide with an international oil company and was honoured in Iran for his services to sporting youth by being presented to Shah Reza Pahlavi. He finally left the oil world for family reasons, did his PhD at Reading University, England, emigrated to Australia and worked until his retirement as a lecturer in Geology at Rusden State College in Melbourne, Australia. This gave him the chance to pass on to students a lot of what hed gained through first-hand experience. He is currently retired and lives in Melbourne with his wife Vivienne.
Ron was always a keen sportsman, earning his University Blue in both cricket and Indoor basketball. He assisted in coaching Davis Cup tennis players in Iran, refereed their international tournaments, and later became a scratch golfer. Back in Australia, he built his own second yacht and rediscovered the joys of sailing.weniger sehen
