ABOUT US - COCONUT SMASH

If you want to know more About Us, then you have to follow the "Yellow Brick Road" that our founder trod down.

Once upon a time, our big bossn Kevin, Chief Executive and CEO, was a mere young mortal who started his creative life as an illustrator and artist. Yet his creative talents extended beyond the brush to the more power pen.....on two continents.....the USA and the United Kingdom.

He rose from being an advertising executive, to business manager and editor of two magazines. This was followed by a stint as a style writer for a national newspaper, as well as a paid consultant to three TV stations in the USA (ABC, NBC and CBS).  On top of this, he became a media consultant to nine foreign governments.

In 1987, he was once quoted in the National Journal as being of the most powerful men in America.

He was also at the forefront of software development, that included installations for top American Federal offices, including those running for the White House. 

Travel has been in his veins too. For over 35 years, he has been involved at the highest levels of the travel industry, notably overseeing meeting management for IATA worldwide. He was a consolidator and wholesaler for many airlines including British Airways, American Airlines, Finair, Kuwait Airlines, Malaysian Airlines and South African Airways, to name but a few.  Yet travel was not his only passion.....the entertainment industry was too. 

Kevin's brother owned an independent record company in the UK and this gave him an eye-opener to the music industry. Five years later, he was about to set the travel world on fire with a completely revolutionary approach to travel management. The result was big artists!

Celebrity clients came thick and fast with names like Air Supply, Pink Floyd, Madonna, Elton John, Phil Collins, the Rolling Stones, the Jacksons, Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, Pavarotti, the Grateful Dead, Phantom of the Opera and even Bugs Bunny on Ice!

In 2003, BlueSun2 was formed as a small charter boat booking agency in Perth, Western Australia.  It was the beginning of what would later become BlueSun Travel, one of the most recognised travel brands in the country.

Today, BlueSun Travel is nationally recognised brand and industry leader and a pioneer in marine marketing. It has a huge and growing sphere of travel interests including:

Yet behind this impressive CV of creative and technical expertise, there is one project that stands out more than any other: the birth of his first child, Sienna.

The project was called parenthood!

“I remember playing with my daughter one day. I use to invent little ditties that we could sing together,” he said. “And here I am, 17 years later, with three kids, all of whom know the Coconut Smash rhyme.

And thus, the name Coconut Smash was plucked from something closest to his heart, because guess what…..he is a big kid at heart.

The truth is that

I am really well known for BlueSun but I wanted something different.”
