About Me

...Hey folks, Born an O'Brien baby in Sheffield, Tasmania, adopted at age 2. Winwood became my family name. First grew up in the shadow of the magnificent Mt. Roland til 9, then a minor move to country Melrose and school in nearby Devonport. Left home at 17 to try my fortunes in Hobart. Various jobs and experimental experiences then farewell to exquisitely beautiful Tassie (still love it). Wound up on the, almost as glorious, North Coast of NSW aiming to make my monetary fortune from nefarious, smoke related, agricultural means - but failed quite fortuitously.
Settled in Lismore, NSW. True birth came on August 31, 1981 - met Jesus (still my best bud and benefactor). Met my, then, wife to be in 1982 and married in 1984. We have two beautiful and excellent daughters, Amana (21) and Isabel (18), but, sadly recently divorced following a long, terminal decline in our relationship.
Worked at Southern Cross University, Lismore, since 1984 as in AV/Computer Services and as a Client Support Officer in the Uni Library. Work and my workmates are cool and I buzz out on having met many students from Aus and lands near and far over the years.
Centre Church (www.centrechurch.org.au) in Lismore is my hang, involved in many aspects of ministry over the years, preaching, teaching, youth leader, singer & worship leader, eldership (I have since chosen to step down, due to circumstances), serving where I can (I'm a great gap filler).
Live with my two beautiful daughters and, until today (18.01.2008), my dog pal Levi, who sadly just left this life, RIP old pal. But, life is great in this most beautiful part of the world (except for massive summer humidity - my one pet dislike :..)I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4MySpace Layouts
