Having a long-standing interest in community development projects and the underprivileged, Michael accepted the role as Entrust Ambassador in October 2010. Since then he has been actively involved in representing the organisation both publicly and privately within his business network.
Michael originally trained as a commercial pilot and flight instructor working across various roles in the aviation industry, including time with community development agencies in the Northern Territory.
In 2008 he started his own business as director of MRG Finance – a financial planning and mortgage origination firm which seeks to assist and educate clients in the area of residential and commercial property investment and financial planning. He has found this provides an excellent platform to profile Entrust to both clients and finance industry stakeholders.
Michael is a camping and four wheel driving enthusiast, and looks for any opportunities to “get away from it all” in remote parts of Australia.
Dean Pepall is married to Janette. They have 6 adult children, including 5 international adoptees, and 7 grandchildren. Since the 1970s Dean has been a child rights advocate, working with a range of people, groups and governments across the globe.
Dean’s passion is to make a difference in the lives of children by educating and supporting those who work with the most vulnerable, children at risk. He shares, “We have been involved with Entrust for over ten years. It is a privilege to be an Entrust Ambassador, to be involved in several of their projects, and to see firsthand how their timely and practical support to the less fortunate is making an impact on thousands of lives.”
Michael’s friendship with Mission Enterprise personnel goes back 40 years, and, in 2010 Entrust agreed to serve displaced people in remote areas of Myanmar with Michael. Entrust visited the area and recognised the needs. An association developed in which Michael was appointed an Ambassador. Michael’s skills were honed in administering professional associations as well as churches and denominations. Michael has also worked as a pastor and brings these skills and his passion for the people of Myanmar to his role as Ambassador. He is married to Terry, has three sons and 10 grandchildren, some of who share his mission interests.
