Gerard Gray

When I was little I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was born and raised in the Riverina of NSW on a small farm between Finley and Jerilderie. We grew tomatoes, fattened Hereford cattle, had a dairy, 3 piggeries and grew numerous crops and pastures. In my teenage years we grew licorice for a huge Japanese pharmaceutical company, not the kind you’re thinking of by the way, but the second most used herbal medicine in the eastern world. Like all farmers sons I had to get a trade and became a Boilermaker/Welder first class, travelled Australia with my wonderful wife Kellie and settled in Bright in 1999.

Lucky for me I now know what I want to do that I've grown up, I want to help people. In fact I've been helping people now for over 10 years with probably their biggest investment and decision they will make in their lifetime. Selling houses for the great people of the Ovens Valley is a privilege, I know what I want to do because every morning I getup and don't have to think about it, I drop my 3 sons off at school and go to my desk. I don't want to say go to work, because (and yes it sounds corny and you've heard it before) but it is not. I work with fantastic people, who are people-people just like me; otherwise you wouldn’t arrive at 20 Ireland Street every morning ready to face the next challenge.
