Additional Information

I am a dedicated family man and have been married to my wife Kerri for 41 years.


We have 2 adult children and 3 gorgeous grandchildren who all reside in the Bay area.


We have resided in Bateman's Bay for the past 32 years and love the lifestyle the area offers.


I retired 12 months ago from Priors Buses and have enjoyed having the additional time to renovate my home and spend quality time committing to my family, my health and my leisure.


I wish to return to the workforce on a casual basis only and at 70 years young, I believe myself to be fit, strong and still able to accomplish new challenges and employment roles.

Swimming, Exercising, Golf, Kayaking and Chess

 I enjoy various outdoor activities with my family and friends and appreciate the scenic coastal area we are fortunate enough to live in.

We often get away in our caravan and enjoy adventurous bush walks, kayaking, swimming and fishing in the relaxing outdoors.

I enjoy the challenge of Chess and the exercise of a game of Golf with family and friends.
