About Dennis
Having spent his early years travelling around the showgrounds, or carnivals, with his father’s show business, the Touring Boxing Stadium, Dennis grew up in an environment rich in Australian history and tradition. For more than 20 years, the family toured the country’s showgrounds, taking on all fighting enthusiasts from back of Bourke to The Alice, Cunnamulla to Kalgoorlie and beyond. But there was more than just the boxing stadium. |

His family enthralled the locals with a string of sideshows like ‘The Mighty Atom’, the Siamese greyhound with five legs, six feet and two tails. Then there was Goliath, who was shown as the tallest thoroughbred in the world. |

Dennis relates the stories of his childhood in a relaxed and friendly style, easily identifying with his varied audiences. He has also been in the corporate world where he grew a contracting business from none to 22 employees. Underlying the humor and drama of the showgrounds, Dennis speaks about the rigid disciplines required in the boxing arena, as well as in the successful operation of a touring show business over many years. He believes that these same disciplines and attitudes still apply to the volatile business world of the 2000’s. Dennis’ presentations are certainly
worth catching. His brand of humour is warm and funny, and spiced with
subtle messages which have inspired many from his audiences. His blend
of humour and inspiration makes him an ideal speaker for any event. |
