Welcome John and thanks for sharing with us

 

So let’s get deep and meaningful straight up

Q – How long have you been in Coolum Surf Life Saving Club and what motivated you to volunteer your time?

I did my bronze in October 1990 and I love bodysurfing. As a community service the SLS movement is one of the best and can be a life long commitment.

When living in Toowoomba I also got involved in Bush to Beach Fundraising

 

Q – Is your experience so far what you thought it would be?

Yes. However it was busy maintaining the commitment driving from Toowoomba to Coolum for committee meeting and patrols

 

On a lighter side

Q – Where did you grow up? (Assuming you’ve grown up)

Yes, all grown up well and truly! Thank you to Brisbane, Toowoomba and Coolum Beach

 

Q – What’s the best job you’ve ever had?

I’m not so good with changing roles. I have one career job and I love it. Stockbroking for retail clients

 

Q – Any nicknames?

Lots… Little John, Egg White, Jonny and Strawb.

 Take your pick.

 

Q – Any Hobbies?

Swimming, Surfing, Sailing

 

Q – Favourite Music/Musician/Band

Q – Can you cook and what’s your favourite dish to prepare?

No need, my wife Nicole is a Super Cook. However, she thinks all men should have a few signature dishes…like peeling prawns and cooking fish & steak

 

Q – Final & Life defining Question…. Pineapple on Pizza, Yes or No??

Reasonably conservative, so love olives on a Pizza
