My story so far
I joined the Australian Regular Army in 1995 and I spent the next 22 years serving Australia during the busiest period in the Army’s history. First as a paratrooper in the infantry, then as a crewman on board Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters. I was fortunate that I deployed numerous times in various roles with some of the finest men and women in the country. Whether it was luck or good training, I survived many near misses along the way which left me with many a story to tell.
I was encouraged to document my experiences and it became some of the best advice I've ever followed. Before I knew it, I had written a book, which I hope will inspire other veterans to proudly share their stories of service.
After medically separating from the Army in 2017, I have continued to serve my country, volunteering as a guide at the Australian War Memorial. It is here that I am dedicated to sharing the stories of Australia's war time past including those of contemporary veterans.

I currently live near Canberra with my wife, our three young boys, two German Shepherds, and a flock of sheep.
