Summary

10 years military experience (Dept of Defence - Army) 1985-1995...

Upon completion of Heavy Vehicle Mechanic apprenticeship in 1988, served in infantry and engineer units in North Queensland as tech support.

Since discharging from the Army in 1995 as a Corporal I have embarked upon personal development which has included and had success in Specialised trade skills, improving managerial and leadership skills, (fulfilling managerial positions to use those skills), mentoring employees in the workplace.

In my personal life I mentor people from trauma suffered from childhood or relational breakdowns, assisting disadvantaged people with personal development, coaching others to become productive members of local community.

  • I have been described, by some of my peers, as having an optimistic view in all situations, engaging and easy to get along with.
