An Aboriginal man from the Kabi Kabi people, "Chilly" was product of violence,

• Grew up in foster system

• Became homeless

• Shot during a tussle on the streets

• Then ended up in prison

With stints and various roles of employment in the underworld, he found himself in Rural Victoria with an honest job.

From there, he put himself through studies and built up enough courage to start his own business.
