When and Where Born:
1960

When and Why they started fencing:
There is video footage of me at age 4, dressed as Zorro, going to kindergarten, red plastic sword in hand (oddly in my right hand).
Clearly it was always going to happen sometime, but it took till 1977 and a Year 12 phys. ed. elective run by the late Robyn Chaplin to inspire me to take it up at the University of Adelaide in 1978.
And there I have remained to this day, fencing and coaching.
I was taught to coach by Colin Oberg, Guy Bertrand and Jim Fazekas over the years.
