How do you maintain a healthy work/life balance? 

I am a father of two and see being healthy and active important to my daily schedule. I see it as time to get away and do something for myself.

I do some triathlons and also enjoy being active with the family.

How do you lead a healthy and happy lifestyle?

As per above plus making sure time is spent with the family and for me exercising or training with a group of people is always enjoyable.

Describe your father, his work and life at home?

My dad is now retired but was always a loyal and hardworking man. Very family orientated that would do anything for his kids and still would.

What traits and hobbies did your father pass onto you?

Dad has always loved his sport and I grew up knowing no different. Sport was what we did. Dad was hardworking and I always remember him telling me that he could and would just run lap after lap of the oval.  So, when I was older, I thought I would try the same.

My favourite memory of time with my father was ….

There have been some great memories but I think the best is still to come. Dad will be acting as my support crew when I go over to compete in the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii in October which will be great. An accumulation of him coming to watch me race all over the country over the years.

Are you a father? If yes, what are the names of your children and their ages?

I have two kids Tate who is seven and Madi who is five. 

How do you usually celebrate Father’s Day?

Just spending the day together is what it’s all about. Usually getting one of those gifts that they make at school or purchase from the father’s day stall at school. Always quality as any father would know.
