Like so many other residents in Morialta, I am the child of migrants.
My mother Veronica came from the UK in 1968 to spend a year working as a nurse at aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, but liked Australia too much to leave.
My father Tony came to Australia in 1946 at the age of 6. After serving in the Royal Australian Navy, Dad started a water treatment business in Glynde. Recently retired, Dad was awarded the Premier's medal for services to the South Australian water industry.
I have lived in the heart of Morialta for most of my life. I currently own a house in Athelstone not too far from the area where I grew up in Rostrevor. I value my family, and growing up in a small family business environment has ingrained in me the importance of honesty and hard work.
