    Biography:

    I was born in Port Pirie (a country town in South Australia about 3 hours north of Adelaide on Spencer Gulf). I was educated at St Marks College and my first employment was with the Commonwealth Railways and then with the BHAS.

    In 1978 our family moved to Adelaide and we became owner/operators of 2 Newsagency Shops and delivery rounds.
    In 1983 I became involved in the building industry with a friend of mine and we started a building company constructing new homes and roof conversions.
    In 1995 after being out of action for approximately 2 years due to a severe accident, I continued in the building industry as a consultant.
    My wife Dee and I moved to Sydney in 2007 to be closer to family and at present I am working part time with a company that sells bathroom and plumbing supplies, enjoying some golf and being involved on a couple of local community committees.
    I was previously a member of Burnside Rotary Club in Adelaide.
