How long have you lived in Canowindra? 8 years. I moved here in 2007 from
Sydney.
What is your favourite thing about Canowindra? The people are friendly.
What do you do for work? I drive a platform supply vessel – an 80 metre oil and gas ship taking supplies to oil and gas rigs from Western Australia working 5 weeks on and 5 weeks off. At home I look after Eddy’s of Canowindra.
What do you love about your job? Driving a ship is exciting and the food is excellent.
What kind of music do you listen to on the bridge? We just put someone’s iPod on shuffle.
Why did you decide to take on Eddy’s? The people at Age of Fishes were looking for accommodation for school groups – something other than a hotel.
Do you have any hobbies outside work? Cycling and bushwalking.
Where is your favourite place in the world? Venice is at the top of my list – it’s surrounded by water and they have good Italian food.
