About Me

Enjoy the massive collection of myspace layouts I found
I work as an Events and Venue Manager for Ellaways Music at their huge new store at Underwood in Brisbane. I'm a PE Teacher but I taught karate for a living from 1989 to 2006 before handing the duties over to my son Cheyne.I still teach but just as a hobby now and on a part time basis. I've had a few months break, the first break in 30 years and I'm now going down to the dojo once or twice a week to help out.
My main interest is my family, work, playing in a Country Band and then karate. I'm now happily organizing jams, concerts and various musical events in our Weekend Warrior program instead of karate tournaments.
Our Contemporary Modern Country Rock Band plays at Clubs, Parties, large events and Charity gigs and we have a web site as well. www.road-works.net
I now have a better balanced life since passing over the dojo resonsibilities to my son. He is 25 years of age, married and working on his University degree. Check out the dojo at www.aka.com.au

My Teacher Passed Away..

I've only had two karate instructors in my 40 odd years of training in karate. The first one was John Halpin and our relationship for many years was such that he was like an older brother. ...
