Conrad has dedicated his life to the pursuit of the many adventures the world has to offer. He strongly believes being surrounded by hardships the true beauty of nature floods the senses.
Growing up in the Blue Mountains
of NSW Conrad found a natural attraction to exploring cliff lines discovering
rock climbing at an early age.
Conrad went on to experience
mountaineering and rock climbing in Patagonia, Europe and the New Zealand Alps.
At the age of 30 Conrad was
introduced to sailing as a professional crew member aboard a Tall Ship on an
expedition to Antarctica. Following this Conrad purchased a small yacht in
North Wales and sailed home to Australia single handed across the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans.
In 2010 Conrad sustained a spinal
injury and subsequent neck operation. Since then his road to recovery has been
long and hard with lessons learned along the way. His focus turned to an
education in risk management in order to work with his physical limitations to
achieve the goals of an adventurous life for himself and others in similar
circumstances.
Conrad now lives on the South
Coast of NSW where he holds the position of safety officer for Marine Rescue Narooma,
enjoys creative oil painting, exchanging tall story’s with good friends over
coffee and long walks on the beach with his beautiful wife.
