Kevin & Maddi' Parker
About the Site Publishers-
Kevin Parker is a former National Campaign Director of the Wildeness Society, Peace Movement Organiser and Environmental Campaign Consultant. He was appointed as an Honorary Fellow at the University of Wollongong where he served as Research Officer with the Technology and Environmental Strategies Change Group. He has been involved in environmental, peace and social justice issues since the 1970's.
Kevin has a BA in Politics and Sociology,an Advanced Management Certificate , is trained in Conflict Resolution, has a dangerously limited knowledge of Biodynamics and practises Reiki. He is an occasional enegry worker if called upon specialising in house healing.
He and his wife, Maddi' Parker, also enjoyed success in private business winning the prestigious NSW Pharmacy of the Year Award.
Kevin is now a succesful web designer as well as publishing and providing input for a number of websites that cover Environmental issues, Literary Awards, Bestselling Books and Festivals around the world.
Maddi' Parker has a BPharm and a BA (Sociology). As well as continuing to work in Pharmacy, Maddi' delights in preserving her own fruit and vegies, bread making and gardening. She is an Australian Bush Flower Essences practioner between juggling children,work and household duties. She chooses the vegetarian and simple life category choices on this site.
Kevin and Maddi', their four young children, nine chickens and several possums in the roof, dwell in an old house set on a delightfully wildish acre - at least that's what they tell friends and neighbours who reckon they should just garden more. Kevin also has a has a grown-up son. He recently resigned from the Zero-Population Growth Coalition - much to their relief.
Allegedly, both are accomplished and entertaining public speakers on a variety of topics but worklife/ecological/childrearing/trying to grow veggies/balance is their current focus!
Kevin also accepts cartoon commissions for those with a quirky sense of humour and journalistic commissions of a humourous, or even serious nature. He is also open to discussing web design commissions, but don't bother asking if you are an arms manufacturer, build nuclear power plants or are in the gambling or smoking industries.
