Early life edit
He was born in Brisbane to Henry J. G. Heath OAM, a naval officer, and Daphne Beryl, née Landry. After attending primary school at Bulimba and then Brisbane Grammar School, he became a salesman and departmental manager of a boat and motorcycle dealership from 1972. From 1984 he owned boating and waterski retail and wholesale businesses and was a member of various local community groups.[2]
Politics edit
Heath was a member of the Labor Party, serving on the State Council, and the Consumer Affairs, Law, and Administration Policy Committees. He was also vice-president of the Lilley Division Executive and secretary of the Kalinga/Wooloowin branch. In 1989 he was elected to the Queensland Legislative Assembly as the member for Nundah, but he resigned in 1991 over political disappointments and personal problems.[citation needed]
Later life edit
Returning to the Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealership, he became Manager covering Rider Equipment, Clothing, Parts and Accessories, and other business-facets for all Harley-Davidson Dealerships in Queensland, New Zealand, and New Caledonia. In 2012 he retired to become a part-time consultant and columnist for magazines.[citation needed]
While retaining a role as a magazine contributor, he later re-started Harley-Davidson dealership work in New Zealand where he currently resides. From late 2019, he has retired from full-time work, and is again a part-time consultant for the Harley-Davidson industry, and writes regularly for motorcycle magazines.[2]
