Java<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nMy Personal Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n I'm married with two young sons. I taught both of the boys to read by the time they were 3 and 2 years old respectively. I homeschooled the eldest til year 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I used to play a lot of soccer with my family. We were pretty dominant in a couple of indoor soccer clubs over a few years. I had to stop all that because I kept picking up injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2012, when my wife was pregnant with our first, I decided to take up running. I didn't like the trajectory I was on with regard to my fitness and wanted to be able to keep up with the young one as he grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast forward a few years and I have run 13 marathons (42.2km or 26.2mi) and a bunch of half marathons or shorter. I'm not fast over long distance, but I just love getting out and spending time in nature. There's nothing quite like the confidence you get knowing that at any time, if you need, you can just run 20+km without stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I've coached my kids' football teams and was the Auskick Coordinator for our club (90+ kids). The kids have now moved to playing soccer and I help with coaching them there. I've also coached (or assisted) them in cricket, because I can't seem to sit idly by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I'm the eldest of 9 children (all to the same parents), so Christmas is a somewhat rowdy affair. We live in sunny Perth, Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I'm a 9th generation Australian, with 8 confirmed convicts among my ancestors, including two First Fleeters. All of my great-grandparents were born in Australia, though Australia wasn't officially a country when the youngest of them was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can probably tell, I'm a keen student of history and have spent a long time researching my family tree. They came from England, Scotland, Ireland, Channel Islands, USA, Holland, Germany (Martin Luther wrote about my 14x great-grandfather as a friend) and Iran (Armenian). My ancestors fought in the American Revolution and helped build this country. I only hope I can live up to their legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
