Biography
From the early teens I was an active member of the Surf life saving movement in southern Australia along the Great Ocean road (Victoria) in a town called Port Fairy. I continued to maintain an active interest in surfing and ocean swimming while working in and managing aquatic facilities which also involved swim coaching. This led to a further career in hospitality with management and operational positions in sports related resorts and clubs located on the Gold Coast (Qld) where I have lived for the last 44 years. From an early age I have traveled Australia extensively and participated in many open water swims where and when opportunity permits around this vast country.
