I’ve have been more than lucky to enjoy a fruitful career that has allowed me to grow professionally and personally, whilst pursuing passions and educational endeavours along the way.

With an extensive background in the Legal Industry, I have successfully owned, operated, and practised in various successful and high performing Legal Services businesses as a Solicitor, with further career experience in the delivery of educational outcomes as a classroom teacher at High School and Tertiary Education levels.

As a driven, intrinsically motivated and truly professional individual, I have enjoyed the various challenges and triumphs that have shaped the person I have become and always look forward to further growth as I continue to learn and develop. ! have been a Solicitor and Director of Centric Law for over 25 years.

I am very passionate in supporting the local community in Mental Health and Domestic Violence.

Owen’s “Chase The Energy” story moved me and I’ve decided to join as a Founding Director and Legal Council of The Big OC Foundation . Our goal is to ensure the Foundation is sustainable and continue to be a platform for everyone to share their journey, experiences and reach out to others in need of support.

I’ve been very fortunate in having a very successful ICT corporate career with Global International Companies for over 30 years. And I have built numerous successful start-up companies.

But it is time to give back to the community, a community which has been very good to my family and friends.

Myself and another two dads started Doybox over 12 years ago, using boxing training disciplines and exercise to tackle anti-bullying and healthy living with kids in our community…but I wanted to do more.

Then I met Owen via a good friend, who’s story on mental health and the importance of exercising the mind and body, inspired me to assemble an experienced and elite team together to support Owen’s “chase the energy” movement.

Our aim is to build a platform for anyone and everyone to be centre stage, speak up and educate.

If we save one life or help one person then we have succeeded and will continue our movement to save many more lives.

We hope other individuals, communities and businesses come on board and replicate our movement in their communities, state-wide, Australia wide and worldwide.

Life is awesome. Family and friends are awesome. Exercising the body and mind is awesome. Best of all, it is FREE.

We all need to come together, HEAL and UNITE.

Mental Health is everyone’s business.

Dax Wilson – Moved to Australia from New Zealand in 1979 at the age of 6yrs old. Resided in Manly Brisbane. Attended the local school where I became a popular student excelling as a talented sports person in Rugby League and Athletics. During the early years I encounted periods of racism as the only coloured student.

In 1981 the family moved to Longreach where my father worked on the remote roadways. We later moved back to Brisbane where I finished primary school as a gifted sports person. (Note: I was never good academically) This continued on through high school where Rugby League became my chosen sport. Although my career never reached the top level, I played for Wynnum Manly both Juniors and Seniors as well as East Tigers. My highlights through rugby league is getting to train weekly with the Brisbane Broncos during 89, 90. Also being coached by the great Lionel Morgan as well as seeing several team mates make NRL careers.

Fast forward to today. Married my wife in 1995. We have two children together. A daughter 22yrs & Son 17yrs. We also have a 5yr old son through becoming long term carers. We are avid campers and water sports enthusiast. We spend many times caravanning, jet skiing. We live a very busy lifestyle. We both work full time, my daughter a registered mid wife and my son finalising year 12.

Myself, I love helping people. I care for our community and overall I will always extend a helping hand where needed. This is why The Big OC Foundation is important to me. Giving back!

I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Big OC Foundation. We have several items which the team are working on, so keep following our progress through socials and remember, “Chase the Energy”

Newest member for the Foundation, Zak is dedicating his time to support and help others to honour their mental health journey and giving back to the community wherever we can.

The motivation to have a better life meant that Chase the Energy was born. It centres around the fact that movement is key, keeping active is necessary not only for physical health but mental health.

People, especially youths need to be comfortable asking for help and knowing that help and support will be given.

Demonstrating to everyone he meets that there is a better way and that you too can rise with positivity and Chase the Energy.
