Essential Reading:

I enjoy reading about ocean liners. Mainly the liners used in the world wars and the large scale ships of today. Being the biggest moving objects in the world fascinates me.

Passion:

Apart from listening to all genres of metal, I mainly enjoy listening to Pop, Techno and 60’s music. Analyzing and recording music is another interest I can’t seem to ignore!

I also enjoy playing the piano and guitar. Cars, particulary Australian and American muscle cars, are another life long interest of mine, Waterskiing, which is also a family business. Check out www.bonneyswaterskipark.com.au

Philosophy:

“If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything” Marty McFly
