“Having known Des for a few years and someone I call a close friend it was hard to hear of his childhood. That said, it was this upbringing that has moulded him into the knowledgeable and generous man he is today.
I found the jumping out of planes bit interesting and something I see in nearly all ex military personnel. Some people may see these things as thrill seeking, however I think a better name for them would be therapy. Whether it be climbing the highest mountains, diving the deepest depths, or in Des’s case, jumping out of planes, I believe it’s a military trait that remains after leaving the forces. Setting yourself challenges, facing your fears, overcoming them fears and getting a sense of achievement and belonging when completing those goals that ultimately helps with mental health. I am no doctor, but that’s what I think when looking at it.
Des, Mike - Catch you soon for cuppa.”
