Take has been an integral part of the Park Orchards BMX Club and the BMX Community in general for many years. He has always had an interest in BMX, and he joined Park Orchards BMX Club with his boys in 2013.
His contribution to the sport cannot be overstated. In the 11 years he has been a member of Park Orchards BMX, he has been involved as a rider, a volunteer club official, a club coach, and a committee member. He has served on the Park Orchards BMX Committee as a general member and track manager over the past decade.
He is a quiet character who is liked immensely by all in the BMX Community. He is most well known in the BMX community for his excellent photography skills, where you will find him at Park Orchards BMX EPIC Gates. Race meets and Open events at local tracks – taking photos for riders and distributing them without expectation of reward or payment.
His love of BMX as a sport is evident in his personal social media posts that he shares championing the history of BMX and its riders; elevating Park Orchards BMX Club; and giving recognition and lifting the profile of neighbouring clubs.

If BMX is life, then Take is BMX.
