Hi, I am Kylie.
I was born and mostly raised in Tasmania. I had three years living in Atherton, Queensland in my late teens. I am the mother of two, now grown children.
The highlights of my career to date vary from being a Crowd Controller (Bouncer), a Private Investigator, and a Tradie. Looking back, I have had an exciting career history, exploring who I am and what I love doing.
I always wanted to be a Police Officer but after being a single, teenage mother, I did not pursue this dream. When my first born was a few years old I was offered a role as a Bouncer, I accepted and loved it. I was then offered a position as a Private Investigator, operating covertly. This role was challenging and thrilling and also allowed me to dabble in factual investigations. I love asking questions, I have an enquiring mind so the factual investigations gave me a taste of what I might be built to do. Then I had another baby. Security and investigations ceased, and I became a stay-at-home mother. When this baby was six months old, I helped Adam at his painting job for a day. 15 years later, I retired from painting! I loved painting but my academic mind was frustrated. While painting and staring at a wall endlessly I was listening to podcasts, crime podcasts. I loved the intricacies of court cases, the stories of justice, the humanity. We sold a property which allowed me to retire from painting and enrol at uni.
So now I am studying criminology and loving it. It has allowed me to be at home each day. This has also allowed me to develop our long-term goal of sharing our property with the world. While studying, I have also developed ‘Laid Back Manor’ our business including accommodation, golf and events. To finally be able to share our property in a way that reflects who we are and what we love. I enjoy design and the finer things in life. Adam loves golf. Our two personalities are highlighted beautifully on our property with half being my passion and the other half being Adam’s.
