London (born there), moved to Sydney when 2. Grew up at Crystal Creek from the age of 5 and have been in the Tweed Coast area ever since.

Favourite part of job:

The constant learning and doing something I am grew up enjoying.

Memories about learning to ride:

Trying to follow one of the boys, 'Far' (who was a naturally gifted rider) up some serious hill climbs, only to roll down backwards and then find out that it's the only way out. Steep learning curve.

Bike riding experience:

Started riding at about 13, started racing Enduro's and Motocross around 18. Stopped racing at about 28 and now enjoy the odd trail or road ride on the weekends.

After Uni, I worked nights behind the bar for a few years and ran Firestorm Motorcycles during the day. 2011 is now the 14th year for Firestorm Motorcycles.
