I've put manager as Technical Manager is my current job title. Started work as an apprentice electrical fitter in Sydney where I was lucky enough to be exposed to a variety of work mostly of the troubleshooting type. I could be diagnosing an issue with the one of the Sydney Morning Herald printing presses in the morning and then sorting out a drama on a bauxite carrier ship in the afternoon.

I fell into Facilities Management and then Hotel Engineering. Hotels took my wife and I overseas 19 years ago and we're still going albeit my current role is non hotel.

Saw my first Cobra bodyshell at about age 17, it was a NZ kit exhibited at the Sydney Motorshow. Tried it out for size but ergonomically it was awful with the transmission tunnel in serious conflict with my left leg and the experience turned me off for quite some time. Wasn't until I dropped into Warwick's factory one day that I realised I could fit.

I bought a uncompleted Harrison kit in 2008 and Warwick put it together to my spec while I was in Saudi Arabia. The rest is history.
