About Me

My love of sport came out of visiting the gray area between life and death and be given the opportunity to claim life and life more abundantly.

I am an avid sportsman who’s sport is a lifestyle and a vehicle that brought me back from the serious brain disease where my life was a series of constant illness and hospitalization.

I have been through a lot of the up and downs of life. As well as the low points, what I put up on these pages reflect a desire to see a better way of life for all those who are looking for answers or support

I have been a triathlon Olympic distance athlete for 10 years now. I have been an Australian Representative Triathlete.

I have been a state and National champion in two different sports and have a passion for life that is fulfilled through my sense of adventure and competitive nature.

I have had some good results and met some great people along the way.

The more that I spend time with sporting people and get involved with people that are willing to challenge themselves to go a step higher or get out of their comfort zones

I see the metaphors of a life well lived, you can not lead a full life, if you are not prepared to be a participant in the great race that is life itself, lets face it in your first race you were the wining egg.

Your first transition saw you out of the water and sucking air and ever since we have been working our way to a finish line that has many milestones along the way.

I have been dabbling with adventure racing, off road triathlon and I love my kayak.  Living on the SE coast Of Queensland I am blessed with a great climate and terrain to indulge my passion.

I hope that there is information you can use amongst these ramblings

I used sport for many years to help me through my recovery from the parasite that invaded my brain the subsequent difficulties that surfaced were due to what I realize now were symptoms of depression.

It further gave me the realization that there is a stigma that is attached to mental health afflictions.

I know, I denied it for years, it was only when I found myself still curling up on the floor and weeping, after all the work I had done on myself (and self medication) to feel at peace, I realized I had to get help.

I also realized that there are many people that suffer from various forms of depression and anxiety but the stigma stops them from seeking help.

I know that exercise, sport, diet and healthy mental attitudes play an important role in any quality of life that we pursue.

So began my introduction to a raw foods lifestyle learning the relationship between life unaltered foods has helped me a great deal. It is when you step out of the mainstream thinking or, as has been said, travel the path less traveled, you begin to realize that what is an acceptable societal norm, is very often there as a control default, or a plain out and out lie.

I often think of what are the acceptable societal norms that we crush our existence into.

I for one have been out of step with what are acceptable activities, not in an overtly conscious way of “fuck it all my way or the highway” type thing, but I have always managed to question the accepted way of thinking and adjust my course to the outcome.

I have not always had the strength to go with my convictions but as I get more experience you begin to trust the intuition that the culture that we live under attempts to breed out.

Life takes on more of the way of the Dow, where all things unsaid are said, and all things undone are done.The distance between what we have and what we desire is only a matter of perception and acceptance of the is that is.

The more we chase an idea of what should be, the further we get away from the present moment of the reality of what is, and this is the only time that is real.

The present, as the word suggests, a gift unwrapped and to be be lived, each mindful intentioned moment
