25 years ago, I was an 18-year-old kid walking into my first Rotaract meeting, probably just excited about the free food and the chance to meet a girl. If you had told me back then that one day I’d be heading to Orlando, Florida, to train as a Rotary District Governor, I probably would have laughed, choked on my snacks, and asked, “Are you sure you’ve got the right guy?”
Yet here I am, packing my bags for the Rotary International Assembly, where I’ll be learning how to take on this incredible leadership role. It’s both exciting and a little surreal.
Rotary has taken me on some amazing adventures over the years—from service projects in India to cooking snags on the BBQ outside a Bunnings to keynote speaking in the USA, even fulfilling my cowboy dreams of riding a horse with a six shooter and a ten-gallon hat on a Rotarians ranch in Southern Arizona —and now, it’s leading me into a whole new challenge.
I never expected this journey, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Thank you to everyone who has been part of my Rotary story so far. I promise to give this role my all (and try not to break anything important along the way)……😉
