I began my fulltime work life at 15 and funnily enough this was in Fashion as a Garment Cutter, this was a short lived career as I was more interested in construction work so ended up working for BBC Hardware in the Trades Section, not quite what I had in mind.
After a few years I moved into General Engineering and my Trades dream started to become reality, turned out I was an extremely good Mig Welder and that meant some Big Dollars for me.
After 7-8yrs I decided for the sake of eyesight it was time to change career paths again so I went and applied for a job as a sales rep selling to hardware stores, This gave me the opportunity to travel and see much of NSW, Turned out I was pretty good at that as well so within 3yrs I was the #1 company rep out of 45. This bought me to the attention to another company who as they say in the God Father “made me an offer I couldn’t refuse”
Then it happened, I had a son, 6mths later I decided I did not like the travel anymore and resigned, At 33 I was now officially unemployed for the first time in my career. I ended up buying a printing machine and starting PROMO-MORE.
Spending time with my children is priceless, oh yeah we had a daughter, I took up soccer coaching for my son’s team and we won a few grand finals, then I took over as coach for my daughters team and we won the most amazing Grand Final against an undefeated team in 2019
If you ask me a question I’ll tell you the truth, for example, “Does my bum look big in these pants” my reply, “it’s not your bum it’s the cut of the pants lets find you something better” 😊
