| A little about me |
I was born in Batlow N.S.W. Australia, on the 9th day off the 11th month off the year 1964. Moved to Cooma N.S.W. 2 years after I was born where I lived for 8 years then moved to Tumbarumba N.S.W. where I spent my teenage years growing up in the foot hills off the Snowy Mountains. I am now self employed in the Automotive Industry in Queanbeyan N.S.W. Australia. I have ended up living in a circle around the Snowy Mountains I can�t say I have not enjoyed it as I�ve learn a reasonable amount about the Australian country side and the Australia New South Wales South West Slopes Region. I enjoy being in the bush and the country side learning about what makes it tick. I spent my primary school year�s in Cooma Primary School. My High School year�s was spent at Tumbarumba High School where I enjoyed learning the basic�s off education eg: Mathematics, English, Science etc. | ||||||||||||||||

I started my working life as an apprentice Butcher which only lasted 18 mths. out off 4 years. In that 18years. In that 18 mths. I learned all about the Meat Industry and apart off the Farming Industry as the employer I worked for not only owned a Butcher Shop but also owned an Abbaittors, Piggery and at least 2,000 acre�s off prime farming land. Due to hard time�s I was Retrenched and unable to complete my Apprentice Butcher Coarse. As there was not much work around I seeked employment in the saw mill at the age off 16 and 5 mths. I spent 4 years and 5 mths. working my way from being a timber stacker up to being capable off operating just about all off the saw milling machinery after achieving as much as I could in the saw mill I decided to move on as I was not expecting my working life to stop there. I ended up moving to the city off Canberra where work was still hard to find, I ended up finding work as a Demolition Labourer on a building site where I spent 2 years demolishing what ever they needed demolishing. It was a good way off relieving any frustration�s and anger. After leaving the job as a Demolition Labourer I started work as a Rigger in the Building Industry now I was erecting Building instead off knocking them down. I enjoyed the work as you learnt a lot about reading plans and drawings, rope work ( Fibre and steel ), heavy lifting equipment ( crane�s, block and tackles, etc. ) After spending 7 years in this field the building industry in Canberra went on a down turn and work was harder to find to keep us going. During my time Rigging I ended up buying tools and equipment to start up my own business in the Automotive Industry where after 8 years I am still here and slowly the business is building hopefully I should be able t | A little about my working career | ||||||||||||||||

| My favourite sports |
My favourite sport is motorsport I enjoy and follow theAussie V8 Supercars. I am a fan of Larry Perkins Racing he as he achieve a lot from the little support he has and has a sense of humour and still driving well at his age. Russell Ingalls needs a little credit as Larry puts them together and Russell gets the most out the car as possible. I am currently building a short curcuit race car to race in my spare time. There are a few tracks around the area where you can race against other driver's and the good thing is that it's not expensive, once you have built or bought a car that would have to be the biggest expense it could cost as little as $1,000 to $1,500 Aus dollars, once you have achieve this all you have to do is join a club, buy your driver's license and insurance all this generally cost around $70 to $80 Aus dollars for 1 year. The final expense's are on each time you race, entrance fee for the day,fuelfor the car. I also enjoy watersport,bushwalking,hoarse riding,tennis and camping. | ||||||||||||||||
