As a boy I attended Terry Hills Primary School.

At about the age of 13 we moved to Frenchs Forest where I attended Frenchs Forest Primary School then Forest High. Finishing up at Forest High in 1977 after completing the year 10 school certificate at the age of 16.

Shortly thereafter I went on to complete a 4 year apprenticeship in Fitting and Machining.

Two years after this and armed with a Control Data Institute diploma in computer maintenance I moved into the computer industry and stayed for 10 years switching rolls from Quality Assurance, Field Technician and finally as 2IC in the National Parts Store.

After buying a Four Wheel Drive I first did a trip to Cape York, then travelled by myself around Australia for a couple of months after which I ran the warehouse for a company specialising in radio frequency communications. I was with them for 7 years until they relocated.

I am currently working for Miele Australia at Frenchs Forest in spare parts sales.
