Roy’s qualifications read a little on the unconventional side. Aside from being meticulous and a stickler for detail, Roy has an Associate of Music Australia (AMusA) and has a long line of operatic feats under his belt in his role as Tenor for several Australian Opera companies.
He is also a fully certified and qualified motor mechanic and racing car engine builder and driver.
Add to this a very skilled carpenter, joiner and furniture designer. He has actively worked on many building projects from design, project management through to hands on construction.
So rest assured, not only is the admin. impeccably precise, your car can be maintained, all carpentry organised and a beautiful tenor voice provided to break the monotony that is pop radio.
