JOINING THE "RAT RACE"
In December 1999, only a month after successfully completing my HSC at St. Philips Christian College, I began work with Mackenzie & Mackenzie (Accountants) Pty Ltd as a fresh faced trainee accountant. I started on a three day a week casual basis, before transfering to full time employment at the start of February 2000. This continued as I commenced a Bachelor of Commerce degree at Newcastle University, enduring numerous night classes and a limited social life in an attempt to make career for myself.
At the beginning of 2002, after two years of full time work, and with the purchase of my first home and the intention of fast-tracking my studies, I managed to convince my understanding boss to let me take 5 months unpaid leave from work. In this time the firm undetook a merger with Kilpatrick Lake Accountants and on my return from Queensland I began work with the newly formed Kilpatrick Lake Mackenzie Accountants in Charlestown. Where I remain to this present day.
