Daniel Grace (Class of 2004) – life has always been about Rugby

For Daniel Grace, life has always been about Rugby. Having been an avid player and fan throughout his years at Radford, Daniel has managed to combine his passionate for the sport with his skills in commercial business.

Living in Perth with his wife and son, Daniel now works for Western Australia’s AFL governing body, the West Australian Football Commission. Prior to this, he was part of the management team for South Sydney, where he was fortunate enough to see the team win their first premiership in 43 years!

Daniel believes the connections he made playing sport early in his life, and keeping up friendships, helped him into the career he now enjoys.

“I started Commerce at UC, changed to PE teaching, took six months off Uni to play rugby in Las Vegas, then came back and changed back to Commerce with a lot more motivation to finish what I had started. The one constant for me has been the networking available through continuing to play sport after finishing at Radford and the subsequent career opportunities that this has provided”
