I used to work in a maternity shop when I was at college. But I started baby-sitting in the evenings. I started then to professionally nanny full time, sole charge, when I was 18. I finished college, and then I didn't go on to do anything else. I started to professionally help families, and I chose not to go to training for professional nannies.
I started wrestling professionally, I did my first television match at 16, but I was wrestling at country fairs and national armories when I was 14.
I started training in January in 1993 and my first match was in April of that same year.
I started surfing at the age of 10, and then turned professional at the age of 16, which was right around the same time I took up the guitar. So, the surfing came first.
I started daily training at the age of 14. When I was 16 years old, I was running twice a day.
I was born in Colorado Springs and I spent a lot of time there. I moved to Denver when I first started training in MMA full time.
Being a young Kiwi lad, a young Polynesian boy, I was pretty close to my family. But when I moved to Sydney, I went from training twice a week, playing touch footy with my mates, to working full-time as a labourer and training professionally.
I started in television as a youngster and was 14 when I started acting professionally.
That match was late evening and I had the experience of the electricity of the Centre Court because it was packed, a full house for the whole match. It had been a great year for me, first time there and I had the full taste of Wimbledon.
I started writing stories when I was 9 or 10. I wrote my first screenplay-type document when I was 14.
From the time I won the Kansas City Match Play championship at age 14, I never wanted to be anything but a golfer.
I started making music professionally when I was 14.
I started to sing professionally when I was about 13 or 14.
I signed as an 11-year-old for Everton. I broke into the Under-18s at the age of 14, then the reserves at 15, then I was in the first-team squad at 16.
I've been playing music professionally, full time since 1980 when I graduated college at the age of 22.
I have been taking voice and singing lessons since age 10 and originally got into it because I was really interested in musical theater. After writing my first couple of songs and performing at age 14, I knew that I really wanted to be a singer.
