Summary
Hey guys, the majority of my professional life has been in the Thoroughbred racing industry, growing up on a Thoroughbred property it was always a goal of mine to become a Jockey, shortly after turning 18 I began race-riding and enjoyed success for five years until it became too difficult to maintain the required weight. More recently I was Foreman at my father's racing stables however due to shattering my leg on a horse at the track I have been off for some time. Four surgeries later the leg is now stable and I'm looking to try something different on return to work. Driving a bus would be new to me but I'm a quick learner and have taken to driving horse trucks in the past. Speaking to my cousin Jamie about his new role at Kinetic has given me a thorough understanding of what is required and I believe it could be a good fit for me.
