My name is Dean Ashton, I am from Melbourne, Australia. I am 56 years old and a certified Personal Trainer. I was professional tennis coach for 30 years in Australia and Germany. I played low-level professional tennis and State Grade Pennant. After bankruptcy and lack of earning potential from tennis coaching, I changed careers to oil and gas at 48 years of age. I went through a dedicated process to change careers and rebuild my life. It was after bankruptcy and working out how many working years I had remaining in my life I realised retirement in Australia would never be an option for me. I had always loved visiting Thailand and decided that this would be where I would live the rest of my life. I still love Australia and will always be Australian, but Thailand is now my home, and the rural countryside is a beautiful place to live, work and train.
