About The Author
So you’ve read a few posts on the blog here and you want to know more about the one who created them? That’s his mug to the left there. I am Alex Garner and this is my passion!
I was raised in Byford, a (then) semi-rural town in Western Australia where life as a kid was very different to those living in suburbia. The only cool shops to hang around was the deli or a fish and chip shop. And getting to them meant hopping fences through old farming property and crossing a few rivers; often by rope swing. Most of the time we didn’t even make it as far as the shops, choosing instead to built huts, climb trees, dig holes and catch yabbies. We broke bones, lost skin and got bitten by ants, bee’s, wasps, spiders, leeches and snakes. Dunno why I’m writing that in past tense, I still do all that stuff!
Through those years my parents often took us away camping, towing a camper trailer behind a four wheel drive and taking us out of school for longer trips on a few occasions. I guess it is all in the upbringing.
I started my own camping and four wheel driving adventures when I was 17 and had bought my own 4wd. I would get out on the weekends and public holidays and explore all sorts of new places. I was quite keen on photography also and would record all of my trips on the camera. In the meantime I ducked around between jobs starting out as an apprentice mechanic, then a sparky trade assistant at a shipyard, followed by a Conservation and Land Management course at TAFE, and a diploma of photography.
Upon completion of photography, I began a two year stint at ARB 4×4 Accessories as a fitter, an extremely valuable experience in teaching me a whole lot about the way accessories and 4wd’s work and what works best together.
So what’s the go with Intents Offroad? Well, you need to follow the link to Intents Beginnings if you haven’t yet seen that post. It’s the first one I did; it took me days but there you will find my reason for starting this blog and what I wish to achieve. And if you have any idea’s for what you would like to see, leave me a comment there too 🙂
Cheers!
Alex
