Position at EVEREST SPORTS:
Director and founder of the company
Best Thing About Working at EVEREST SPORTS:Everest Sports is a fantastic place to work, we have a very relaxed but professional approach. Having the quality products that we distribute means we have great relationships with the majority of our customers. Being a mature business also means we can deal with those companies we want to deal with and who also follow similar ethical and environmental ideals.
I love giving employees the opportunities to do the things that are important to them. We are a small team of like minded people who share many common goals and this certainly makes integrating life style and work quite easy.
Interests Outside Work:
Outside of work my family rules. I have three beautiful daughters who are all hard to keep up with. The move up to Bright was precipitated by the need to be closer to the Alpine environment. Skiing, cycling, walking the mountains and the rivers, what a fantastic place to live, work and play.
My Ride:
My ride is a ten year old Bianchi for the bitumen and a brand new KTM for the single track in the local hills.
Favourite Places to Ride:
The best place to ride is either two metres behind or right beside my beautiful wife Lisa, who is the CFO for the company.
Short Paragraph About Yourself:
Thirty years ago, as a 18 year old I walked the Alpine Walking Track by myself in the middle of Winter. This experience led me into the world of outdoors where I have been ever since. I have spent 15 years in specialist outdoor retailing, importing, distribution and manufacturing. I built what was one of the largest and certainly most loved indoor climbing gyms in Australia, called THE MILL. I have spent well over a thousand nights out in the mountains, either climbing, skiing or walking.
