GUEST SPEAKER'S PRESENTATION - 7th MARCH

John Hinrichs

Behind the badge

John shared details of his childhood in Brisbane, career and involvement with Rotary.

From a very early age and throughout his career, John has displayed a keen interest in mechanical things and particularly fast moving vehicles i.e. planes and racing cars. Whilst spending 17 years in demanding engineering maintenance roles at a pet food factory in Wodonga, John found time to design, build and test racing cars plus teach his son how to drive a racing car even faster than he could.

Prompted by his supervisor’s denial of a 1 day leave request, John left the company, started his own business and began his association with Rotary by participating in highly rewarding RAWCS trips to Tanzania and Cambodia and coordinating a Donation in Kind program to Vanuatu.
