At the age of 40 he planned to realise a long held dream of riding his motor bike around Australia. He was in his garage preparing for his journey when he happened upon the solution to a problem he had of how to cover the day to day costs of travelling. It came in the form of a small industrial product that had been designed by his father who owned an engineering business.
He decided to have a small amount of this specialty tool made to sell along the way even though he had never shown any interest in engineering or manufacturing. What he would do is after staying in a town overnight spend the morning making several end user calls to local business before heading out of town and moving on.
There were many days in fact weeks when every person he showed the product to bought it. What started out as something that was supposed to last 3 months is now into its 19th year.
One day while visiting a Canadian auto dealership, he was approached by the president of that company to tell his story to their sales force. Eight years on, he speaks to sales and marketing people in Europe, North America and Australia.
