edit data

I am forty-one years old and live with my wife and two sons (eight years old and nine years old) in a small coastal town, South West Rocks, New South Wales, Australia. I studied Ancient History and Australian History at University of New England and soon after, began my teaching career in high schools in New South Wales. After four years of teaching, I joined NSW Police Force and attained the rank of senior constable. After twelve years as a police officer, I recently (2018) disengaged from NSW Police Force and I am currently engaged in writing and seeking a new career path.
