Meet the man
behind the posts
I am a unique, free spirited, inspiring Educator who embraces life, holistic wellness, happiness and proudly being different. I empower individuals to believe in themselves, to be confident and to be holistically healthy so they can be the very best versions of themselves.
​​
I am an Adult Educator in Vocational Education as well as a School Teacher with Victorian Teacher Registration. I have also been a Deputy Principal and Acting Principal of some large primary schools in Queensland as well as National Training Manager of one of Australia’s largest Registered Training Organisations.
​​
I hold a Bachelor of Education and a Diploma of Teaching, Certificates IV TAE 40116 and TAE 40110 in Training & Assessment, Certificate III in Individual Support (Ageing) CHC33015 and Certificate III in Aged Care CHC30208. I hold a current Victorian WWC card and the NDIS Worker Screening card.
​In 1983, whilst living in regional Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia, I made the fateful decision to lead a straight life, because I was quite simply too scared to be gay, thinking you could actually do such a thing, until it all came crashing down on me from 2003 onwards, with devastating consequences for my now ex-wife and our two sons.
​
In 2007, I ended my marriage and came out. Since then, I have been evolving with professional support and these days, lead a fully authentic life being the very best version of myself.
​
In December, 2023, I returned to Bargara, in the Bundaberg region, to rewrite that fateful chapter of my life between 1982-1985.
​
I have now re-written that chapter of my life and now continue my evolving journey of self-growth and self-actualisation in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, following my holiday there in June 2024.
​
This BLOG is my journey in this process of becoming the very best version of myself and explains what I have learned along the way to get me to where I am today.
​
Magical dreams can happen when you believe in yourself. I always dreamt of being truly happy and never gave up on myself being able to achieve this.
It might have taken a while, but I worked it out and this Blog is my way as an educator of showing you how I did it.
​
I recommend starting from my very first post as there is a planned order to how I am sequencing this Blog.
