About
Wynnum born and Brisbane bred, I have spent all but six years living in South East Queensland, Australia. I spent four years living in NZ as I was working for New Zealand Breweries, now Lion Breweries, and spent a further two years living in Adelaide SA when I commenced my employment with H&L Australia.
I am single, a father of one and grandfather of two.
My stomping grounds while growing up were Mt Gravatt (Lay St), Bardon (Simpsons Rd), Brackenridge (Mongaburra St) and the Mt Cootha, Sandgate and Wynnum surrounds.
I was just a normal kid growing up in the 60's and 70's, with my bike, the Ekka, Cracker Night and lots of exploring. Mt Gravatt was the best time as our house backed onto the Showgrounds which gave us a huge backyard!
My most memorable achievement was attaining the The Adventure Training Award after being invited by my school Cadet Corp to participate in 1975. I still have the badge!
