About Stan
Get to know the Real me. My Story
Welcome to my world! I’m Stan, a life coach with a unique blend of experiences that have shaped who I am today. Let me take you on a journey through my life and passions.
Country Roots
I I was born and raised in Bruce Rock, a small town nestled in the wheatbelt of Western Australia, 350 km east of Perth. Growing up as a “townie” in a rural community, I spent my days immersed in sports, farm chores, and exploring the vast bushland.
The 80s were a formative time for me, filled with the sounds of iconic music and countless hours mastering video games on consoles like Sega, Nintendo, and the Commodore 64. To this day, I proudly hold the title of Super Mario champion.
Martial Arts and Outdoor Adventures
My journey took a significant turn when I moved to Perth to complete my final years of high school.
It was here that I discovered my passion for martial arts, a discipline I’ve dedicated over 30 years to. I’ve trained in and taught a wide array of styles, including Ninjukai, Karate, Kempo, Muay Thai, Arnis and Kali, Brazilian Jiu-JJitsu (BJJ), Self Defence, Krav Maga, and ISR Matrix.
Beyond the Dojo
, I’ve served as an outdoor recreation leader for the Department of Sport and Recreation. My role involved teaching abseiling, rock climbing, team building, archery, orienteering, and other thrilling activities. These experiences have equipped me with a diverse skill set and a love for the great outdoors.
Community Engagement
For over 20 years, I’ve been a dedicated scout leader, guiding young minds in developing good character, independence, and life skills through outdoor adventures, camping, and hiking.
My commitment to fun extends to my role as a marshal for Darklight Laser Tag and now Laser Blaze, where I bring excitement and fun to countless participants.
Personal Interests
When I’m not coaching or leading, you’ll find me indulging in my various hobbies. I’m an avid fan of TV shows and movies, with a keen interest in filmology, photography, and videography. I also enjoy board games, cooking, and anything that challenges my knowledge and skills.
I’m the guy you want on your team at quiz night, armed with a treasure trove of facts and trivia. My love for themed parties and costume-making once led me to create a full Optimus Prime transformer suit. I embrace fun and creativity in everything I do.
Family and Favorites
I’ve been happily married for 25 years, and my wife and I share a wonderful life with our two teenage boys. Our family is built on love, adventure, and shared passions. One of my favorite times of the year is September, when I celebrate “Talk Like a Pirate Day” by switching my Facebook language to pirate English.
As a devoted reader, my home boasts five floor-to-ceiling bookcases filled with personal growth and development books, alongside our boys’ extensive adventure book collection, more book cases. My favorite reads include the Harry Potter series, Sword of Truth, Lord of the Rings, the Rangers Apprentice, and BrotherBand series.
Commitment to Growth
With over 30 years of personal growth and development under my belt, I’m dedicated to helping others achieve their full potential. Whether through one-on-one coaching, group sessions, or community engagement, I’m here to guide you on your journey to a more fulfilling and empowered life.
Join me, and let’s embark on this transformative journey together.
