Torquay,VIC
Summary
I grew up in Geelong the second eldest of 10 siblings.
Working class family that went to church on Sundays and worked in the family business from a young age.
Grandparents migrated from Holland in the 50s and settled in Geelong.
As the Children of a second generation family business the focus was work first family second and education as we worked.
Sundays was family and church and being from a Dutch background structure and routine was important.
I married young and have two daughters who live in NSW unfortunately after 15 years the marriage ended in divorce.
I moved back to Geelong where I grew up in 2023.
My aim is to find balanced employment where I can add value and continue life’s journey where I can balance work and living and continue to learn.
