John “Jack” McCaw
Born in north western NSW in 1971, he has always been keenly aware of the impact poor communications and distance have had on opportunities. Buying his first computer at age 12, he was focused on technology as the way of overcoming these.
After several years in the Australian Army, he now works in Armidale NSW, in IT desktop support for the University of New England. Community broadcasting and volunteer Emergency Services are also a passion of his. His partner Ellen is an artist working from home, and a fulltime accounting student – via distance of course.
