The Bank Robber's Boy

Peter Norris is not your ordinary CEO. The head of Club Corowa, a multimillion-dollar venue that employs more than 100 staff, he is also a world-class athlete who’s won bronze in the Obstacle Racing World Championships and two national bodybuilding titles. And he’s the son of one of Australia’s most notorious bank robbers.

In his debut memoir, The Bank Robber’s Boy, Peter exposes the shocking truth about his turbulent childhood and the heartbreaking choices he had to make to escape his father’s shadow. Baring his soul, Peter recounts harrowing stories of violence, betrayal and loss that he faced as the son of a fugitive. He also reveals the love and loyalty that bound him to his father, despite the danger and disorder of living with a wanted criminal.

But Peter’s life is not defined by crime and tragedy; it’s shaped by courage and transformation. Refusing to follow in his father’s footsteps, Peter broke free from his shadowy past and forged a bright future. He graduated from La Trobe University with a business degree that launched his leadership career in the hospitality industry. He overcame the obstacles that threatened to derail and eventually destroy him, transforming barriers into breakthroughs.

As a former State Ward, he now provides a safe and secure home for vulnerable children and young people as a dedicated foster carer. He is also a motivational speaker, sharing his inspiring messages of resilience and redemption with audiences across Australia.

In a journey that spans far beyond the boardroom, Peter is living proof of how one man can change his destiny and make a difference; not despite the odds, but because of them.
