Favourite Quote: “The greatest pleasure in life is doing what others say you cannot do.” & “I always feel pressure. If you don’t feel nervous, that means you don’t care about how you play. I care about how I perform. I’ve always said the day I’m not nervous playing is the day I quit.”

About me: I love classic European cars, 80s Australian bands such as INXS & Dragon, good company,  good food & working hard with a good bunch of people. Looking forward to working with Brad Armstrong and the squad to get back running competitively
