Personal Background
Goh was Born in Osaka, Japan, but grew up in Sydney, Australia playing rugby & surfing and where his working career began. Over 16 years ago he was then fortunate enough to transfer to Singapore with his family with his employer to help grow their regional Asia Pacific Headquarters. Rugby continues to be part of his life, but these days more as a spectator on the sidelines (15 years too late according to his wife) though he continues to be active as a student of Brazilian Jujitsu to balance out his love of good food and wine.
As a Father of 2 in their late teens, and a Dog Dad to an Aussie Spoodle, he can often be seen traversing the Island, ferrying them to multiple sporting, social, academic events as an unpaid Grab/Uber driver but sadly never receives 5 Star ratings for ANY journey
