John has been providing Outdoor Recreation
services since 1981 after spending 5 years training and leading Outdoor
Recreation programs for the NSW State Government.
He serves on several industry consultative
committees and Boards all of which are voluntary and unpaid. This is done as a
contribution to the Outdoor Recreation Industry with a view to facilitating the
delivery of educational, professional, environmentally sustainable experiences
for those participating in Outdoor Recreation and Educational activities. The
long term outcome of the process of identifying those leaders, guides or instructors
is to encourage quality and professional facilitation of the outdoor experience
for those participants and to build our community focus.
Johns’
business interests include indoor climbing facilities, mobile climbing walls,
handhold manufacture, a private registered training organisation servicing a
variety of clients including Dept of Defence, NSW Police, St John Ambulance,
Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust plus private providers and outside of the work
environment as much personal recreational activity as time allows.
