I was born in Tasmania. At 18 I was selected to play Australian football in Melbourne, where I studied music, philosophy and criminal psychology whilst also coaching tennis. During this time I married and had a daughter who has become a renown linguist. I then moved across Australia to Perth and became a businessman owning numerous restaurants and bars and a large catering business. Whilst in Perth I married a second time and had 2 sons, one became a musician, the other a geologist. During this time I have managed to travel extensively. I currently travel about half of every year.
