Former cop, greenkeeper, financial planner, and now miner, Drew’s lived more lives than most blokes have had hot dinners. He’s a proud larrikin with a sharp sense of humor, deep loyalty to his mates, and a passion for real talk over polished spin. Whether he’s talking footy, finances, or FIFO life, Drew brings raw honesty, good yarns, and a deep care for helping others navigate the highs and lows of life on-site and off. He’s the kind of bloke you want leading the chat—relatable, real, and always ready with a one-liner or a truth bomb. 

Dave’s the bloke who’s worked it, lived it, and led it—with two decades in the mining game across key roles on-site, he knows the industry inside out. A proud family man, he brings the perspective of juggling site life with being a husband and dad, adding heart (and plenty of laughs) to the yarns. Known for telling it how it is—with the odd F-bomb thrown in—Dave’s straight-up, sharp, and never short of a story. His experience and honesty bring depth and relatability to every episode, especially when it comes to navigating work, home, and everything in between.
