Born and raised in England, Colin Noble grew up as the youngest of four in a family marked by both love and struggle. With parents battling alcoholism, Colin learned resilience early in life. Though he was an average student, he found his passion in sport—especially football—and developed a strong work ethic that would later define his journey.
Leaving school at 16, Colin began an electrical apprenticeship, just as his world was shaken by the loss of his mum to alcoholism. The grief took a toll on his mental health, but he pushed forward, eventually qualifying as an electrician and starting his own business.
Driven by a desire for a fresh start, Colin sold everything and moved to Australia. After working in Melbourne, he settled in Gladstone to continue his trade. Life brought more challenges—while visiting England to say goodbye to his grandfather, Colin lost his father, also to alcoholism. Returning to Australia, he found himself in a downward spiral, battling with alcohol and facing the consequences, including a couple of drink-driving charges.
But Colin’s story didn’t end there—it turned. Meeting his now-wife, Jess, became a catalyst for change and also the father of 3 beautiful kids. He discovered fitness, rebuilt his mindset, and began transforming his life. Today, Colin is a passionate advocate for Bravehearts Kids, supporting children affected by trauma, and he channels his energy into endurance sports, proudly calling himself a marathon runner.
Colin’s journey is one of redemption, resilience, and real talk—a story that reminds us no matter how far you fall, you can always rise again.
