Vice President Report August 2024

Firstly, a huge thank you to all that nominated me for the
position of Vice President, I am truly honored.
For those that don’t know me, here is a bit of background! I
work in shopfitting and have been in the industry since 1983
when working with my Dad, currently servicing all parts of
NSW through my business Sydneywide Shopfitting. I am happily married to my wife Anna
of over 30 years and we have 2 beautiful children – Joshua and Hallie.
My passion for the Mustang started in the early 70’s where I fell in love with a 69 Boss 302
slot car. Growing up with uncles that were Ford junkies, it was only natural that I followed
in their footsteps. As soon as I got my license I joined the ARDC and couldn’t get to the
race tracks quick enough working as a fire marshal, where for 5 years I could get a birds
eye view of my idol – Dick Johnson, in his Falcons and Mustang’s.
While my true love is the first and second generation Mustang’s which I have owned over
the years, my current is an S550 2020 RSPEC – which is definitely driven, not hidden. This
love and passion for Mustangs has inherently been passed down to my kids, who growing up spent
time down at the track and hours in the garage alongside myself. They have seen the cycle of
Mustangs in and out of our driveway over the years and now themselves have both proudly added to the collection. My goal in taking on this role is to unite the greater Mustang community. No matter what
generation Mustang you may own, we want to continue to grow our MOCA community.
Look forward to seeing and working with you all soon!
