	Description:		In his own words, Stu Holmes had a ‘blessed childhood’. But it wasn’t enough. He could have been, an AFL footballer, a lawyer but he didn’t put his mind to it - he wanted to party and party he did. Hard. His life centered around drinking, partying and drug taking. It was never going to end well. Stu eventually found himself in a very dark and lonely place where he believed ending his life was the only answer. He’d lost his wife, his children, his friends, his reputation, his career a everything else he had. In his mind his life was worthless. His behaviour became so erratic he held up a post office with a knife, which led to a term of imprisonment for armed robbery. And that’s where everything changed. Prison gave Stu an opportunity to dry out, to think about what a mess he’d made of his life and this was his chance at redemption. After his release, he founded a recruitment agency called ‘The Green Collar Brigade’ which, in conjunction with WISE Employment Group, helps those coming out of prison, find meaningful employment & believes everyone deserves a second chance.
