Terry moved to Port Macquarie in 1984, bought a small service station and built the business. After selling that business he had a mechanical workshop in Bellbowrie Street. He has been a mechanic all his life. 

He loves music, so he became involved with 2WAY FM in the 1990s, and has been a presenter ever since. His other interests include motor racing, (especially Bathurst), water skiing (he claims he is too old now), he also raced go karts for many years and he enjoys country music festivals.

Terry is passionate about Australia and where we live. He was previous a volunteer with Power Of Choice, visiting schools offering driver education, which received community awards for their efforts.
