Come on, don't remind me on that.

Yeah, it's been a long journey, I guess.

I mean, being in the game that long and it's all kind of those numbers have come since I've come to Triple Eight, obviously.

But it's been a long journey to get to that point, you know what I mean?

And a lot of learning and I've been grateful that Triple Eight have been able to give me the forum or the opportunity to be part of that.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, it's, I'm not sure exactly where it all started, but my dad was a club racing rally car type thing.

He had a Datsun 1600.

And I think my, some of my earliest memories of being out on the Alpine rally in the middle of the night, listening to cars going through, through the kind of the bush.

And I don't know whether that just stayed with me, but then from there,

I don't know.

I watched, I was big into Formula One and I never thought there was any other kind of career for me.

I don't know.

I never thought of a normal day job.

And motor racing was just something that I just thought was my normal job.

progression at life you know what I mean my hobby and that was turned into my job but yeah I mean I guess at the start I was really into engines like particularly F1 engines and so I went to Melbourne Uni I had a dedicated kind of engine facility there and and as you do you kind of work out who's you know like you kind of bond with the lecturers that are into that and I was lucky that

The head professor there, Harry Watson, kind of introduced me to someone in Sydney that was looking for an intern.

And between my third and fourth year, I went up there.

Anyway, it turns out it was for a top secret Formula One rotor valve engine.
