I have been in the Engineering field for over 33 years, and as a Fitter Welder and Mechanical Fitter for 25 years. I have
been very fortunate to have been involved In some very big projects. I like the challenge of problem solving, thinking
outside the square which in this field can happen every day. The satisfaction of getting a result and modifying the cause
so it doesn't re-occur again. I always strive to get things done in a timely matter and to the best of my abilities. Outside
of work I love Rugby League, It is a passion of mine I have had all my Life. I am a Big Fan of Motor sports, Super V8's
and Bathurst is a Must. I also enjoy watching Offshore Powerboat Racing, and watching my grandchildren play Rugby
League.
