Originally from Tasmania he studied a Bachelor of Human Movement at the University of Tasmania in Launceston before securing a position at St Mary’s District High school on the east coast of the state. In later years he has continued to teach Phys Ed amongst other subjects at both Primary and Secondary levels on the Gold Coast in Queensland. That was until he loaded up his backpack to travel the world and teach abroad in the UK where he is at present employed as the Head of Physical Education at a secondary school in inner city London.
