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.
