I came to Australia from England in 1986 with my wife and 4 children. Life has been kind to me, and 14 years ago, I decided that I wanted to put something back in. My dream was to help street kids. I wanted to buy a house with some land in an isolated area, and turn it into a refuge for kids coming off drugs. The kids were to be placed in a drug free environment, far away from alcohol, cigarettes, illegal drugs, and temptation. This is still my dream.

In 1998 I went through the trauma of divorce. I hurt my wife and family very much.

It was then that I started Street Mission. It was a now or never scenario.

At this stage, the farm project is still not realised, but I have met the people who will help me turn this dream into reality.
