After being educated at St Joseph’s College, Geelong,I left school in 1960 at 15 years of age. I started work as a messenger boy for BMC who were agents for Morris, MG and Rolls Royce.I spent 13 years in the Motor Trade.
In 1972,I moved from Geelong to Melbourne to manage Brian’s Speed Shop. After 12 months,I left and started my career in Hospitality. I worked as a barman in the Public Bar of a small city hotel for 2 years. I then moved to the Chevron where I became Night Club Manager until 1983. It was an exciting time meeting many Rock & Roll, Pop Stars and Celebrities.
After the Chevron was sold in 1983, I moved on to manage several night spots around Melbourne before finally joining Eden on the Park on 1st November 1989.
In 1995, I was invited to join the very prestigious Society of Les Clefs d’Or. I have really found my niche and am very happy to be working at Bayview Eden Melbourne formerly Eden on the Park. I feel this is where I’ll probably see my days out. Eden is as good as you can get.
My most unusual request was to buy a Rolls Royce for a VIP guest who lives in Singapore but leaves the RR in Australia to drive when he visits. Another very nice part of this is I get to look after the RR when the guest is not here.
I guess that is one of the perks of being a Les Clefs d’Or member.
