Founded Enormity Inc & The Solution Inc to help them gain real life skills. The concept of the two groups was to work through the needs, wants and ideas with the young people and help bring them to fruition, allowing ownership of their successes and failures.One example of such an activity was National Coat Day - a public appeal for the donation of winter coats for homeless and needy. Winter coats were chosen as they offered easy access & transportation, were warm and offered protection from the elements, and could store and be easily stored. There were 100,000 people sleeping rough each night throughout Australia - that was the target total and was achieved. Each Prime Minister from John Howard onwards donated their own coats along with many other families, politicians and celebrities.

Owned and managed two small businesses simultaneously. Purchasing, stock control, staff procurement & training, front of house, sales & marketing
