How did you end up coming to TGBC? 

I met someone a few years ago from Brisbane that used to talk about it often. So I quizzed him what it was all about. It sounded great, but with no Bundaberg Branch at the time I kept missing the chance to drive to Brisbane to go. My brother lived in Melbourne for medical treatment for a while, and while there did his training with the plan to start a local chapter when returning home. Unknown to us, another goon had also just done his, and we ended up with a full chapter almost right away. 

What is your favourite TGBC book? 

There have been some great books and some terrible books, but so far To Have and Have Not by Hemmingway would be my favourite. 

Why are you a member of TGBC? 

I have never read much before TGBC, and I'm really enjoying it, however I really joined to hang out with the guys at the Pub once a month for a good chat and meet new people. 

What do you think a "Tough Guy" is? 

I think it's different things to different people, but to me a guy that is honest, reliable and looks out for his mates. 

What is your favourite library? 

Only time I've been to the library since High School was for this month’s challenge. So, I can't really say I have a favourite. 

What book have we not read that you'd like to do at TGBC? 

I'd like to see more in the styles of Hemmingway, and Fantasy like the Discworld series. 

What's the best thing about TGBC? 

Spend so much of my life is spent revolved around work, it's great to catch up with people where there is no work talk, and it's just some guys hanging out for a chat. 

What's your favourite drink? 

Spiced Rum with Pepsi Max 

What is something people wouldn't know about you if they judged you by your cover? 

That I'm in a book club
