Bio

I started running in 1975 as 16 yo in former Yugoslavia. I was a long distance runner. By age of 23 I was member of Yugoslav national team in 10000m and marathon events.

My personal best times were 5000m 14:09, 10000m 29:42 and 2:18:08 for marathon, all achieved back in 1983.

Upon arriving to Australia in 1989 (as skilled migrant, I am Electrical Engineer by profession) I joined my one and only Randwick Botany Harriers Athletic Club, first as a runner and later as a coach and vice president.

I coached my daughter Selma (Rio 800m Olympian) from 2009 to 2015.

My wife was also national level runner and still hold national 800m record of Bosnia and Herzegovina with 2:03.02.
