What are your future plans with this work, and what impact do you hope to have in the future?
I have too many brain schemes to count, but they all involve doing this somehow more full time, getting paid Staff and giving them an income too.
I’m 42 this year, I can’t do this forever even if Tobey Maguire is almost 51 now too. I need help and I’d love to pass this name and company off to someone I trust later that has the same values and goals as Illawarra’s Friendly Neighbourhood Spidey tries to have now.
Since doing this original interview and it’s answers a few years back now with the amazing Nathan Jepson (Still hoping to see that video one day) a lot has grown and in 2024, we have another few huge Convoy events such as Mary’s 50 KMs Wonder Walk and Super Hero Scavenge For Convoy’s 2nd year.
Not to mention Tiny Tins and Wollongong Crane Trucks have caved into letting a little small business Spidey join in on their events this year too with Battle for Business’s with Grechy’s Boxing and Fitness being the first and more Halloween madness incoming and much more.
I can’t underestimate how much it truly means to be part of a bigger team, that doesnt feel like im just in the way, or another thing to overcome, but be involved and included. SO thankyou if you are reading this.
We had a Kidswish Event, The Great Illawarra Walk 2024 we just finished too which was brilliant.
But for now, I’m keeping as fit as I can to stay in suit and keep making everyone smile or get cranky, depending what crowd I’m around haha.
I want to be able to keep upholding my visits to places to help, such as KidsWish events, i98fm’s Illawarra Convoy for the amazing Illawarra Community Foundation and RMHC Westmead and maybe even Randwick eventually. Also love to reach out again to Wollongong Hospital and see if I can work out something regular their.
​
Myself and conner (The cosplay guardian) have our first major booked event in musselbrook in september as well, booked in for TV & FILM NOSTALGIA FESTIVAL. because making some money for our families is also a necessity.
My selfish goal though is to help enough so I can see mine and my teams name up on the board one year and be remembered in some way like that, when someone hears our Party business name, they are proud of it, The kind of mark I’d be proud to leave before I go.
Oh and last but not least, I would love to have a Comic Con for Shellharbour. Comic Gong is such an inspiration from the Illawarra and we need more im afraid, so that’s my major focus alongside the other events in the next 12-24 Months from writing this. If you have read this far, wow, are you ok? Truly though, thanks for coming along and being part of the Crew!
