Ian Young has led a full and colourful life. From a childhood in England, service with the Royal Navy which took him all over the world and then adult life in Australia, Ian has observed the world with perception and humour. Most of his working life was spent in the insurance business, mainly in country New South Wales where he met the tough, funny, courageous and determined population of a largely rural region. In that time, he also established a reputation as a competitive rifleman, taking trophies home more times than not before retiring to life in NSW where his mind remains as sharp as ever.
