My name is Max Overton, aged 50 years and still going strong.
I was born in Malaysia to an English Colonel in the British Army
and a beautiful English lady born in India. We lived in Germany,
Jamaica, England and New Zealand. I made Australia my home 
almost ten years ago and am now a citizen.

I am a teacher/tutor at James Cook University. I teach Biology, which
embodies Zoology, Botany, Entomology, Physics, Geology and Chemistry.
My passion is for collecting butterflies, which I have done since early
childhood.

I enjoy the warm, balmy weather of Queensland, Australia but I consider
myself a citizen of the world.

I am finding life much more exciting, fulfilling and happy in my second 50
years than in my first 50! I am engaged to a beautiful American lady, Sherry,
and we plan on being married in July of 1999.
