I 
began square dancing at Westgate Square Dance club in October 1979 at the insistence of my wife Brenda. I really wasn't keen to try square dancing but Brenda can be very persuasive when she wants to be. After my first night of dancing I was hooked, not sure if it was the dancing or the fact that I won a block of chocolate in the Monte Carlo that convinced me. By April 1981 I had become a trainee caller with Frank Kennedy and in July 1982 Brenda and I began Crossroad Squares in Werribee. In 1990 Brenda & I opened Southern Cross Plus and in 1998 we opened Southern Cross A, all three clubs are still running.
At the 1983 Melbourne National Convention, I was given the opportunity to call at one of the sessions. I have attended and called at 33 National Conventions and served on 5 National Convention Committees including 2005 in Warrnambool where I was Convenor. I have recently been elected Co Program Manager for 58th National Convention. I have had the opportunity to be feature caller in all States of Australia and have also featured in New Zealand a number of times.
When I am not square dancing Brenda & I spend a lot of time with our two daughters Meagan & Rachel and the loves of our life, our grandchildren Logan and Ruby. We also really enjoy travelling with our Travel Buddies Mike & Lorraine. In October 2014 I will be retiring from work and will be looking forward to the next era in our lives.
