About


I've always got on with people, and I find all people very interesting. I really enjoy meeting new people and listening to their story and opinion. I think at some stage every body needs a bit of a helping hand and support, unfortunately through different circumstances in life not every body has someone, and I think I can help. I love reading, I play in a band....guitar and drums, I write songs and poetry. I build a lot of models H.O. scale for my train set, I enjoy riding my motor bike, I like making things and I'm pretty handy with tools. I was in sales for many years then drove trucks interstate for may years. I have a lot of empathy for people. I live a full and happy life, and I think I always bring a bit of happiness with me. We look after my elderly in-laws that are both 93. I spend time helping a friend who suffers schizophrenia and is delusional, when he stops taking his medication he can be a danger to him self and others.
