Growing up in South Africa, Rob was involved in Church life as an Anglican from a very young age and was involved in numerous activities at St. Martins in the Veld.

Rob & Linda arrived in Australia in 2008 and when they moved to Montmorency in 2017, they came across St. Margarets where they were made to feel very welcome and have made some wonderful friends.  

Having spent most of his working life in the Automotive Industry, Rob has, over the last 10 years, transitioned into coaching and consultancy for clients across industries such as Automotive, Events Management, Logistics, Cyber security and Telematics.

While Covid initially put a stop to any work within St. Margaret’s, the initiative to conduct services over the internet became an opportunity for Rob to make a contribution to the Church and he can be seen operating the audio-visual system on most Sundays. Other areas of involvement include the occasional greeting, banking of the offertory and the Men’s breakfast.

With a background in management across a range of industries and countries, Rob will be able to use his experience to support the work of the Parish Council and other Church activities.

I have lived in Eltham for 25 years with my family – my wife Mitzi and our three children, Emily, Lachlan and Natalie. Up until recently the Catholic Church played a large part in my life (sometimes at more times than others). We are now attending St Margaret’s and finding a more inclusive, forward looking and democratic experience of our collective faith, while carrying forward its traditional expression.

I am a director of a superannuation software development company and I have a number of interests, among them being woodwork and building, Roman and Medieval history, philosophy and Internet web design.
