HELLO​

Hello everyone, hope to meet you through messaging, or better still in person. I have been married for 30 years to my wonderful and faithful wife. We have two boys both married and live within an hours drive from us. I live in Alexander Heights Perth Western Australia. Brief summary. I am a qualified mechanic, worked in various places. I have been a missionary in Papua New Guinea for 9 years, maintaining mission equipment & training locals so their skills will benefit their local communities. I was a station manager there and was involved in running the station and the workshop and a youth camp for the local surrounding villages. After returning to Western Australia I spent 20 years as a support worker (qualified social trainer) caring for people with intellectual disabilities. I have now retired on the old age pension as I have had to have a pacemaker installed and meant I could no longer work as a mechanic. And I have various health issues. But better than expected. Enough of me.
My wife Lynsey, is a New Zealander (Kiwi) from Upper Hut. She was a qualified nurse until an unfortunate event took place at Meekatharra where a hospital patient attacked her and she had to give away her nursing carrier due to back and knee issues as a result. She was employed as a note taker at universities for students with disabilities. She ran a help support group on the internet for people who had heart issues. With the data collected over a period of time she used for her Phd on Heart Disease. We both are Christians and attend the fellowship of believers at the Girrawheen Baptist Church. I will fill you all in on our son's next time around. My wife does tell me that I talk too much.

Hi Geoff! Welcome to the SDC community! It’s lovely to have you here. You’ve certainly had a rich and fulfilling life — from your years as a missionary in Papua New Guinea to your long career supporting people with disabilities. That’s truly admirable. It sounds like you and Lynsey have both dedicated yourselves to helping others in such meaningful ways. I’m glad to hear you’re doing better health-wise and still keeping a great sense of humour! Lynsey’s work on heart health sounds remarkable too. You both sound like a wonderful team. Looking forward to hearing more about your sons and your future adventures together! Here’s to more adventures and great conversations! Cheers!
