In their own words
Born, raised and lived all my life in Melbourne’s East, having a family and raising four kids, I am very aware of life and its challenges for people in our metro region. As a young man who gained an electrical apprenticeship in a competitive era, I have known that hard work and effort isn’t just about tuning up.
