I grew up on a dairy/beef/fruit farm on the Capel River in Southwest WA.

Moved to Perth at 18 and ended up owning an industrial coatings business for many years.

Keen 4wd camper/explorer, having covered pretty much all of WA (Murchison/Gascoyne/Kimberley/Pilbara) over the years traveling with my 2 boys who are polar opposites one is an Apprentice Heavy Duty Vehicle Body Builder and the other is an actor, dancer, singer, academic.

Looking forward to doing some exploring around SA, will be bringing my boys over from time to time.

I am currently recovering from a total knee replacement-too much Cricket/Hockey/running as a young fella- so you will be able to tell me from my limp for a little while yet!

I have always said I would see out my time living in the country again and am looking forward to living that out with Bowhill.

From what I have seen so far there is a REAL inclusive culture- something a lot of places claim but cannot live up to in practice.

I am looking forward to enabling our team in the STF to grow individually and as a team. We have the bones of a great unit, and I am looking forward to bringing out the best and taking it to the next level.
