Occupation/s? Tell us what you have been doing
When we left UHS, I was already working part time at Roelf Vos Supermarket (now Woolworths) so that rolled into a fulltime position, in 1980 I moved to Georgetown and worked on the furnaces at BHP Temco for 12 months returning in July 81 and bought the milk round that Dad (aka Yogi) had sold 4 years earlier, I sold that in 1985 and started work with Coca Cola as Sales Rep, I had 18.5 years with Coke including a 12 month stint living in Launceston. In Jan 2004 i started work with National Foods (Pura Milk) as a Territory Manager. I stayed there until March 2009. During this time I also started studying Remedial Massage Graduating with a Diploma in Remedial Massage in November 2006. My part time massage business was getting busy so i decided to go fulltime in March 2009 and I am still doing this and loving it.
What would you tell your 1977 self if you could send them a message now?
Don't get too busy making a living that you forget to make a life.
What would you like to share about the last 40 years?
I Married Linda (Caunce) in 1985 we have 2 sons now 26 and 28 who have taken after us and love travelling the world, so no daughter in Laws or grand kids (that we know of) yet. Surf Lifesaving has played a big part in my and my families life, We have both travelled around Australia rowing and competing in Australian Championships and other races, this has given us a good look at Australia and our passion at the moment is overseas travel while we are still fit and active enough to enjoy the wonders of this world.
What are you proudest of about your life? What have been your greatest achievements?
The Obvious answer here are my Kids, and my wife but on a personal level being Named Surf Lifesaving Australia's National Volunteer of the year in 2002 was awesome.
Any regrets?
Life is too short for regrets!!!
