Blake was born in Bairnsdale and loves the area, especially because of the coastline and amazing lakes. Blake loves the water and will snorkel or scuba dive at any opportunity.
Blake loves dogs, PC and X-Box gaming, gardening, and cooking for people (so much so that he created a business out of it!).
Blake is excited to give back to the community through his support services and the exciting and fun programs he has planned (STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES).
