Motivated by achievement rather than wealth, I have had the honour and pleasure of one of the most important and mentally challenging jobs my country has to offer..... leading Australian soldiers. Rising through the ranks and positions within Royal Australian Armoured Corps, I reached the most coveted and respectable position of Crew Commander. Commanding an Armoured Fighting Vehicle (LAV-25) requires extreme levels of responsibility, effective time management in many different disciplines, risk assessment and management, unwavering work ethic, high levels of personal discipline, taking the initiative, timely and effective reporting to higher elements of command, and multi-tasking skills to a level that is unseen in civilian life. Within my tenure in the Australian Army, I also had the privilege of being selected to fill the capacity of instructor of officer cadets, Royal Military College Duntroon (Canberra). This position again is highly coveted and only the best instructors are chosen to teach and shape Australia's brightest young minds, as they will become future leaders of Australian troops in humanitarian and combat operations all around the world. Using my vast experience and wealth of knowledge, I since moved on from the Australian Army and am slowly building my company, Athena Trading Company which commenced operations in April 2013.
