What drew you to lifeguarding? My dad was a lifeguard at Bondi for 30 years. I was brought up amongst lifeguards and learnt the importance of respecting the lifeguards for the job they do everyday.

If I could spend a day with anyone dead of alive it would be: Nelson Mandela.
One thing you wouldn't know about me: I have never been beaten in a game of backgammon.
