Len is a Conflict Resolution Professional based in Sydney Australia. He is a Nationally Accredited Mediator (AMDRAS), a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP), a Clinical Supervisor, Coach, Trainer and most recently an EMIN (Elder Mediation International Network) Cert EM (Advanced), Mediator.

Len completed a Master of Dispute Resolution (Western Sydney University) in 2000 enabling him to work in the mediation space. He furthered his knowledge and expertise by attending Harvard Law School to study Negotiation (2002) and Mediation (2005) in the Harvard Program of Instruction for Lawyers. He is a Certified Harvard Mediator (not activated). Len works in the Not for Profit and Private sectors.

In 2006 Len decided to leave his previous employment of thirty-three years to follow the passion that had been ignited in him while doing his Master’s Degree. He was offered a position as a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner with a well-known Australian Not-for-Profit Organisation. He worked his way through various roles within the Organisation, reaching the position of manager of one of their Family Relationship Centres. In 2012 Len felt the need to broaden his working experience while still remaining a Casual Employee of that Organisation. 2016 saw Len take a position with the College of Law as a Coach, Mentor and Supervisor of students doing the AMDRAS and FDRP courses with the College. In 2017 the Not-for-Profit Organisation was piloting an Elder Mediation Programme, which Len was invited to be a part of and continues to be a very active member of. He also branched out into the field of Restorative Justice, working with Victims of Abuse making very valuable use of his mediation skills.

Len continues to be engaged in all of the above employment roles, including the field of Elder Mediation, which is becoming a very important pathway for the elder community to have their voices and wishes heard and respected.

Len makes the most of down time, between family and work commitments, to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of walking the French and Portuguese Caminos.

Len was appointed a Justice of the Peace (NSW) in 1993.
