Community-Minded, Solutions-Focused, Outcomes-Driven – this isn’t just a tagline, it’s my approach to serving you on Council. I am truly honoured and grateful for the opportunity to represent our community, ensuring your voice is heard in shaping Shellharbour’s future. What sets me apart is my commitment to listening to residents, understanding their concerns, and advocating effectively on their behalf.

As a proud local dad and Shellharbour resident of over 35 years, I’m deeply involved in our community, volunteering in local sports like Football, Cricket, Oztag, and Athletics alongside my kids. Professionally, I’m a Technology Teacher, an Award-Winning Tradie, and a Vocational Training Coordinator. I’ve introduced successful initiatives, including the Cadet, Apprentice, and Trainee Program, to train and employ local tradespeople, further supporting Shellharbour’s next generation. Additionally, I established the Shellharbour Youth Summit to empower our young people and give them a voice in our city’s future.

I’ve watched Shellharbour grow into a vibrant community with an enviable lifestyle, thriving population, and breathtaking natural beauty. At the core of my vision is the balance between development and preservation. I believe we must pursue smart, sustainable growth that respects our environment, protects public open spaces, and fosters our community spirit. This includes supporting local businesses, promoting sustainable development, and ensuring access to essential services and facilities that help our community thrive.

I’m passionate about exploring new economic, social, and lifestyle opportunities that strengthen our community while safeguarding our environment and way of life for future generations. For me, this isn’t just a job—it’s a calling!
