I am Tsc Tempest.

“Tsc” is short for, “Temujin Storm Crow,” which IS my legal name. “Tsc” is the legal and authorised short form for my first name, and it features prominently, in ALL my signed, legal documentation.

I am a Generalist, in principle. My training, in my early, informative years involved: writing poetry, playing competition volleyball, flying a Cessna 150 Aerobat, riding trail bikes, bmx, pogo sticks, building computers, programming, coaching springboard diving, camera and darkroom technique, being in the Army Reserve, cleaning cars, cooking and coordinating spit roasts, circus work, housing construction, making pizza; studies in Engineering, Liberal Arts, Secretarial Studies, teaching weekend school sport, organising a Harvest Festival, AND, eventually graduating and working as a Laboratory & Field Technician in the Dairy Research Industry, where I conducted field research, wrote complex spreadsheet macros for Lotus 123, Quatro Pro, & MS Excel, did some personal and in-house Web Development in html, & in custom CMS apps and, carried out some in-house Workplace Assessment & Training. Throughout that time I also dabbled in Community Radio & TV, Line Dancing, and amateur Music Theatre.

I travelled to China, where I worked in Teacher Training, Curriculum Development, designing and building localised, classroom network topologies: both wired and wireless; and, eventually branched into Import Export, with a focus on Chinese Marriage Furniture, and Household Decorations. I worked in Vietnam as a Freelance Photographer with my own studio, and also spent a number of years in Germany as a Househusband, Warehouse Operator and Forklift Driver, Office Assistant, and Brewed Beer.

I have married, raised an amazing son who has become a fine young man, and maintain friendly familial relations. I am a friendly guy, and of course, a grumpy old man that looks forward to growing old disgracefully. 🤪

I have an avid and passionate interest in Chinese Tea, Global Tea Culture, and am a Dilmah (Ceylon) Certified Tea Master, and ITA (Pu’er China) Tea Sommelier Alumni.

There is no one else in the world quite like me. I am… “Tsc.”
