My career journey to arrive at STACS
After the death of my parents in my mid teens, I hitchhiked around this great country fruit picking in every state, Victoria and South Australia for 2 years. Then, Jackaroo work in The Kimberley (3yrs). Working in remote schools as maintenance officer in the Gulf of Carpentaria (Kowanyama) and (Lockhart River), Cape York Peninsula (2yrs and where I met my lovely wife). Moving to Atherton Tablelands FNQ, I worked at Malanda Milk as Cream Room Supervisor (7yrs). It was early during this period that I was married and accepted Christ as my Saviour. In 2001, Jo, Ben, Em and myself moved to Grafton to enter four years of Bible College. In my second year (2004), I applied for the position of cleaner at STACS while studying. In 2006 I became Assistant Pastor at our local Church. In 2007, we felt the Lord’s leading to go back to The Kimberley. There, I worked as Property Manager at Bayulu Remote Community School (4yrs). During this time, we led church at a place called Ngalingkadji, 70km west of Fitzroy Crossing. It was in 2011 that I received a call from Mac Lindsay (then Principal of STACS) who asked me if I would consider returning and working as Grounds/Maintenance. I accepted as both Jo and myself had been praying for leading and guiding for the future. This is my 12th year at STACS.
A significant Bible verse to me
1 John 3: 1: ”Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.”
