Additional Information
I enjoy busy weekends in the backyard with my family, but I especially enjoy the quiet ones.
On weekends you'll find me at the skate park, kicking a soccer ball in the backyard with the kids or having a couple of drinks on the front deck.
I'm an avid lover and consumer of sport. I still play competitive soccer and currently coach both my own team and my son's team. I have a passion for helping people to develop their skills and attributes.
