I am currently half way through my Tafe real estate traineeship and am enjoying my time at the Professionals. I had completed one year out a business degree at Newcastle University when the opportunity arose to join the Professionals team. Already gaining an interest in real estate which was helped by my father Darrell Roche, one of our Principlal's at the Professionals Forster Tuncurry, having 25 years experience in the industry. I have since deferred my business degree and am enjoying working for such a great office with fantastic colleagues. I have many hobbies and sports which I enjoy and participate in. The main sport I participate in competitively is Football or Soccer, for Wallis Lakes Premier League. Our office is a major sponsor of this side who had a good year in both grades making the finals and reserve grade narrowly missing the grand final. I also enjoy golf, tennis, wakeboarding and snowboarding or skiing. Our family is a member of a lodge at Smiggins (Perisher) where we enjoy an annual skiing/snowboarding trip. I have been fortunate enough to travel overseas to the U.S.A with my family when I was just in primary school. I have also been fortunate enough to travel to New Zealand and Ski some of their beautiful snowfields such as "The Remarkable's", which certainly lives up to its name. I am very passionate about music. You may have seen me on past occasions playing at The Reef, The Aztec or Bee 52 restaurants. Music has always been a constant in my life since early high school. I was the lead singer and guitarist of our high school band known as "Instant Karma". We went on the win the Taree eisteddfod for best rock band in 2007. Unfortunately our band didn't get much time to practice and eventually we all went our separate ways, and the rest they say is history. I have since played various Gigs around town and enjoy writing and playing songs at home. I am really enjoying my work at the moment. I work with a great team, under two very down to earth, yet driven principles. The Professionals real estate group are also very supportive with great support structures in place to strengthen our already strong team.
