I have lived all my life in Perth, in the northern suburbs. I am now 56 year old and work as a bus driver for Trans - Perth and in my spare time I am a Surf lifesaver with Quinns surf club.

I married Keri Aiberti in 1986 and became part of her larger family that had lives and work in Wittenoom, so for many years my wife’s family has been involved with the Asbestos Diseases Society. I started to take a more active role with the Society in 2016 when my father in-law past away from Mesothelioma, I took part in the walk from Geraldton to Perth, then again in the 2017 walk from Merredin to Perth.
