Owen Stickels - Tawonga South

How long have you lived in the area?

The first time was in 2001 for 10 years, then I came back in 2016 after a five year stint in Melbourne. I grew up on a farm in Baranduda.

What do you like about living here?

Essentially I'm a country boy, but living here I have the best of both worlds, being able to have a full professional life working from home while living in this beautiful environment.

Would you like to see any changes or additions?

No, I like it just the way it is.

What do you do?

I am a professional writer, including screen plays, advertising and more. Being an actor, I teach public speaking and presentation.

What are your hobbies and interests?

I volunteer at the Alpine FM radio. Having some former experience at ABC radio in Adelaide, it was a good fit. I am a jazz drummer, but not working in that field anymore. I spent 12 years in the airforce as a fighter pilot. I like to exercise, and try to stick to a vegetarian diet.
