Born in Perth, Western Australia, I have an infectious passion for all things aviation, especially as a wannabe airline pilot. I am also a firm believer in the continuous learning cycle and the value of mentoring, especially with young people. I put two and two together at the start of 2012 as a member of the Australian Air Force Cadets, the nation’s largest aviation-oriented youth organisation, firstly pursuing my own development to the highest cadet rank in a critical unit-level training-management position as a teenager, and now extending these skills here at P2S RUGBYWORKS. When I am not promoting the organisation, you will find me either in the air as a commercially qualified pilot, or on the ground working in a variety of event operations roles at several our best sport and entertainment venues.
I decided to launch P2S RUGBYWORKS here in Western Australia in response to three life changing events that have re-shaped my outlook on what is important to me. Firstly, I suffered a major stroke in 2014. Part of my mental and physical recovery from that stroke was to undertake a gruelling 14-day trek across England from west to east with 11 very special friends.
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland (1951) I attended the local primary school and graduated from Forrester Senior Secondary in 1967. I was accepted into the British Army in the same year and attended the Army Apprentice College in Harrogate for the next three years. Graduating in 1970 as an Electronics Technician (Royal Signals). I saw service in Hong Kong, New Zealand, West Germany, England and Holland. Throughout my service I was a keen participant in the great game of rugby, playing for both military and civilian clubs.
Born in Perth in 1965 as the middle child between two sisters and raised in Dandaragan on ‘Kayanaba’ on our 6th generation family farm. Growing up in a small community with both parents committed to family and community life a solid foundation, a bench mark, was created for my upcoming adult life. I now know how fortunate I was spending my childhood outdoors, attending the small and intimate local primary, coming home to a committed and loving family, always feeling safe and cared for.
