Following school, he took a position with a large coal mining company in their newly established central computer office. The job involved the development and utilisation of a specialised computer system to run and maintain functions previously done by hand. He soon married, purchased a home in Cessnock and later welcomed the arrival of Matthew, his first child.
Following the death of his son 11 years later, he was divorced and left his job to learn to fly aeroplanes. He later left the Hunter Valley. During this period, he worked in various marketing and management positions until discontentment eventually drove him to enrol in full-time university study, which culminated in his attainment of the awards; BCom, BCom (Hons), GradDipLegStuds, JurisD.
The university experience reignited his passion for storytelling, which developed at a very young age. Initially this took him back to Cessnock, but he now resides in Bowral on the Southern Highlands of New South Wales where he continues to write.view less
