Gwyneth and I live on the Gold Coast. I have been married for 38 years to Gwyneth - my hearts desire from the moment we met. We danced together and stayed together. We have two children, both are now adults and my best friends.

Some of my hobbies and previous ventures include racing motor bikes at Donnington Park and Malory Park. I was a county long distance runner and was the Rolls-Royce first eleven cricket captain. I have actually played against the West Indies.

I was the dart team captain at the Local County and a shotgun and small bore rifleman. I have also had a interest in dancing, rock & roll and square dancing.

My work history has been quite varied. I was a Mechanical Engineer (Aeronautical). I served an apprenticeship with Rolls-Royce in their aero engine division and stayed there for a further 19 years after the apprenticeship. Positions held included toolmaker, design draughtsman, numerical machine programmer (Fortran) and finished up as a production engineer for the combustion case of the Trent Engine (Jumbo Jet Engines) at main works Derby.

On arriving in Australia, I managed a medium sized engineering company with 160 staff members. I then changed direction to become an Orthotist in the Princess Margaret Hospital.  The smallest child patient came in a shoebox and the largest patient came in a wheelchair for a Reciprocating Gait Orthosis (RGO) and was able to walk out of the surgery.

Tell us a little bit about your role at Intervest?

Do not bet until you have finished the training and have paper traded. Proving not to your trainer, but to yourself, that you can trade and profit from your trading.

Most treasured moments in my life?

Being present at the birth of my daughter. Having tea with the Queen of England and when I had the fortune to chat with Princess Diana. The Duchess of York also once gave me a cuddle.

Proudest Moment in your Life?

Changing peoples lives for the best. I was involved in the design of a Reciprocating Gait Orthosis (RGO) one of the first in the world. Crying with the parents of a 14 year old patient after being fitted with the RGO. He stood and walked for the first time in his life in my RGO, now copied and produced in America.

Greatest Achievement?

Working in theatre with Australia's leading plastic surgeon Fiona Wood on burns patients, reconstructing facial features for burn victims. Not a nice job.
