Parkes Phoenix

Our Bloke – David Thompson

November 2, 2017 By Maggi Barnard

David Thompson

How long have you lived in Parkes and why do you like living here? I was born in Parkes and then we moved to Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory for five years. We came back and I have been living in Parkes ever since.

Where do you work and what do you enjoy about your work? I work at McPhersons Parts and Service as a Dealer Principal. I enjoy working in the agriculture industry, our customers and our staff.

What do you do to unwind after work or on weekends? When we can, we take my boys camping – they love fishing and skiing. I know that sounds busy but I really enjoy that time with them.

What are you really good at? Reading peoples personalities.

If you could have a super power what would it be? Superman – I am learning to fly at the moment, so I suppose that would make it a bit easier.

What is your pet hate? People who abuse children, whether mentally or physically. I have no respect for them.

Tell us about your best holiday ever? My wife and I won a trip to Europe and got to drive vintage cars along the French Riviera! That was one of the best holidays.
