I grew up in Wodonga, where I now live with my wife and two children.

I completed a Bachelor of Town and Regional Planning at the University of Melbourne, with specialisation in Planning Law, Development Economics, Recreation Planning and Resource Use and Conservation.

I am a past president of the Wodonga Brass Band, past member of the Wodonga Senior Secondary College School Council, and have coached junior football.  

I have a work background in Construction, Senior Management in Local Government, and Consultancy.  My experience is in Economic Development and Land Use Planning with specialised interest in business attraction and facilitation.

I do not hold personal political ambitions beyond Wodonga Council and believe there is no place for Party Politics in Council. I am standing to improve Council management accountability, responsibility and transparency with more decisions made in public by elected Councillors.
