As a former teacher and police officer, Owen has experience in education as well as the emergency services, having lived and worked across rural and metropolitan communities impacted by natural hazards.

Jarryd Bendall comes from a long line of teachers, which is why he initially avoided this calling. Jarryd taught primary school for several years, before combining his love for writing and education in an Education Specialist role with Cool. This role sees him as a bridge between knowledgeable industry experts and classroom teachers, bringing excellence into the classroom and challenging the average curriculum with innovative and effective ideas.
