I worked with him a little bit in the Australian Army. I will be back at work on Tuesday and can search for him on the defence email system as last year he was doing some reserve work for the Army. Things have changed though and he may not be contactable there anymore.
There will be plenty of people that know him better than me though so if anyone does please help out.
PM me your contact details and I will see if I can contact him on your behalf. Great Bloke and it is an inspirational story. Was televised on "Australian Story" here in Aus a few years ago too.
