Shooting Achievements: My first top place in the Tasmanian Skeet team was in 1998. I have been in the State DTL and Skeet team every year since.
2009 shot in New Zealand, shot very well.
I have been lucky to have been sponsored with a gun from Blaser since 2008.
Other Interests: Fishing and recreational shooting.
Other Personal Info: Married 43 years with 2 daughters, 1 granddaughter and 2 grandsons. I worked as a fork truck driver at Edgells at Quoiba until 1994. I have shot clay target competition in Tasmania, Perth, Qld, Darwin and New Zealand. My wife has become used to our holidays. No gun, no go. We are planning to go to Police and Services competition in Bendigo and then onto Roma's 100 years in November. Will possibly find more clubs to go to on our travels.
