In 1991 he started driving interstate for local transport companies until 1997 when his first daughter Kathryn was born. He then took a manager's job with a fuel company where he learnt about the fuel industry.
In 2004 he decided to buy his own truck, at this stage he had married Bev in May 1998 and 2 more daughters had arrived: Sarah (1999) and Gabi (2002) hence the company name KSG ALLPRYDES.
He started off carting for Linfox until a friend that he had made gave him a tanker to get started in the fuel industry.
