Born in Melbourne he has lived in five states and travelled extensively for both business and pleasure.
The reason for writing The Other Side of the Trench was brought about when he established “Let Them RIP” to pressure the Australian Government to introduce procedures to ensure the remains of fallen diggers were reported and buried with dignity.
After contacting over thirty politicians and many senior business people apathy was the only reaction he received. He contacted Andrew Wilkie who agreed to ask "the question" of Julia Gillard in Parliament. Her answer was predictable.
He decided the only way he could get the appropriate people to listen was write a book, become famous as a best selling author and be invited to speak on television and radio.
So he did.
He has been interviewed on radio a number of times and Ian McPhedran a well known journalist had an article published across the News Limited papers espousing his cause.
He remains committed to the cause although frustrated with the response. It seems not many care.
