Besides being of the same generation, I’m honoured to call this guy a friend, as we’ve chatted via various messaging for years. Sometimes it’s scary as we both think along the same lines. He’s clearly a proud family man and one of the nicest blokes out there in the trade that i know has been there to help and guide
