Barnaby thinks of himself as an average bloke. His story however, is anything but average. A type-1 diabetic and former AFL player, his life changed dramatically at the age of 25 when he was king hit in an alcohol-fuelled attack, leading to a stroke and permanent brain damage. He was forced to rebuild his life and learnt to dig deep and find the power within to overcome his challenges. When his first wife died of cancer, he had to again look within to move forward. Barnaby is a successful keynote speaker and resilience coach who draws on his experiences and amusing anecdotes to help people be the best they can be. Barnaby will be releasing an autobiography in March 2027 titled "Everyday Greatness: Thoughts on Athlete Mentality from a Regular Joe Bag O’ Doughnuts".
