WHO’S WHO

10 QUESTIONS... With Boris Hoth - Team Support Manager S.A.

a combination of Victorian and NSW destinations. One day, when our girls are out of home, Kylie and I plan to move somewhere away from the city where back country snow is accessible in the winter months. Your favourite holiday destination or place on your bucket list to visit? Winter trips to Europe are always fun. Recently (pre Covid) Kylie and I drove from Amsterdam down to Slovenia. We visited many mountains in Austria and Slovenia and really fell in love with this neck of the woods. Once the world re opens we plan to take our girls with us and spend a Christmas over there. Here in Oz I love visiting Tasmania. Hiking, Bodyboarding and sometimes even a Snow Hike. Tassie is a strong front runner as a retirement destina- tion also. Do you have a Favourite Food? Savoury - good quality Indian food is pretty rad, and for sweet - can't go past Kylie’s Key Lime Pie. Name a person that has inspired you? Mike Stewart, Professional Bodyboarder. When I was 10 (1991) I discovered Bodyboarding. Mike Stewart was already World Champ seven times by then. Today in his mid 50's he is keeping up with the new blood and still inspires me to hit the water just like in my teen years. To sum up Kennards in one word would be? Evolving.

It is satisfying when the decision was the right one. Some changes I have seen in my time are; going from three to seven centres here in S.A. (Not to mention many new centres nationwide), system changes like Digital Agreements/ATLAS and a refreshing new approach to Skillbuilder courses. Tell us about your family? My family life consists of my beautiful partner Kylie and our gorgeous girls, Lilyan 16 and Lucy 8. Together we have a great laugh, usually at my expense… Also, we have three cats that I inherited upon moving in with Kylie, I am not usually a cat person but Jemima, Spooky and Charlie are starting (it has been five years) to grow on me. What do you like to do in your down time? Time away from work consists of Skateboarding, Gardening and Bodyboarding trips over to Yorke Peninsula. In the winter months I aim to spend at least two to three weeks in the Aussie ski fields Snowboarding at

How long ago did you join the Kennards Team and what is your role? I joined KSS five years ago and I am currently in the TSM role here in S.A. What did you do before joining the Kennards Team?
