Biography
Steve was born in 1954 in Sydney and lived with his parents at 129 Barton St, Monterey, NSW.
At the time, his father worked for the then Commonwealth Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) as a professional radio operator at Mascot airport. Starting at the beginning of 1959 his father was posted to various airports around the country as the airport officer-in-charge (OIC) and so the family moved around (a standard posting was three years):
- Albany, WA, 1959-61, 263 Albany Hwy
- Broome, WA, 1962-64, 1 Forrest St
- Carnarvon, WA, 1965, 127 Olivia Tce
- Ceduna, SA, 1966-1968, 26 Poynton St
From 1969 his father was posted to Adelaide airport, so the family moved to Adelaide and settled there at 15 Keen Ave, Seaview Downs, SA. The family’s choice of Adelaide was to give Steve access to senior schooling. Steve left the family home and lived at unit 2/43 Addison Rd, Warradale in about 1976.
Steve built a house at 35 West St (now 51 Gully Rd), Seacliff Park, SA, and moved in on the 1st of May 1980. Thirty years later, after raising a family and a long career in Information Technology, Steve bought a house at 4A College St (aka unit 1/4 College St), Glenelg, SA in 2010 and retired one year later on 1st July 2011.
