Occupation/s? Tell us what you have been doing
I was in Service Station management for many years. For the last 10 years I have worked at Mount Isa Mines where I am a Metallurgical Technician.
What would you tell your 1977 self if you could send them a message now?
Hey idiot you don't know everything yet !!
What would you like to share about the last 40 years?
I left home and Tasmania just after I turned 18. I moved to Perth (W.A) where I lived for a few years - worked in steel fabrication and pretty much partied. Wandered around the country for a while getting a real life education and doing a vast array of jobs (Fun Times). Eventually moved to Brisbane where other members of my family had migrated to. Spent a couple of years there then moved to the Sunshine Coast where I worked in the building industry. I designed and built a couple of my own houses, good timing as the market there took off big time. Met my wife in Brisbane we have 7 kids - which explains why most of my hair has left me. They are all great young people 6 of them live in Mount Isa working in different fields from the mining industry to the police force the other one lives in Ireland. They have given us 7 grandkids So Far !!! Christmas is a full on show every year. I bought a house on the beachfront at Sarina (Qld) a couple of years ago where my wife and I will retire to - soon I hope.
What are you proudest of about your life? What have been your greatest achievements?
The obvious answer here would be raising 7 great humans - but there really is so much I am proud of that I have achieved through hard times and adversity (not mentioned on here). I am not finished yet..
Any regrets?
No - and not a good question to ask as its like that job interview question - "what are your weaknesses" i find it pushes people to focus on something negative.
