How long have you lived in Parkes and what do you like most about living here?
I have lived in Parkes for 36 years. Love Parkes – we have everything we need here. No need to go anywhere else.
Where do you work or what do you do currently and what do you enjoy about it? I am Branch Manager of Coates Hire. I enjoy being able to help customers with equipment for small and large projects.
What do you do in your spare time and on weekends? Riding motorcycles. Spending time with my three kids (all grown now) and new granddaughter Grace.
What are you really good at? Restoring vintage small engines, mainly old Victas.
If you could have a superpower what would it be? Feed all the misplaced and starving people in the world.
What is your pet hate? People who cannot sit on correct speed limit on highways causing other drivers to take too many risks trying to overtake.
Tell us about your best holiday. Tasmania on my bike. I try to go there every year if I can.
