I have lived in the Shire for more than twenty years and I am the proud father of two wonderful daughters who have both been raised and educated locally.
During my professional career I have worked hard to achieve success in a number of management roles in both the public and private sector.
As former senior executive with the National Rugby League (NRL), and former international Rugby League referee, I'm passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Over the next four years I hope to work alongside sporting and charitable organisations to help encourage young people to play their part in the community.
I will be working with other Ministers to improve services in our Shire- more resources at Sutherland hospital, improved public transport and local road infrastructure, and addressing community safety.
Whether on the sporting field or in public life, I think it's important to have the ability to make difficult decisions.
I am proud and honoured to be your new member for Miranda, as well as the Minister for Sport and Recreation as a part of the O'Farrell government.
Now that I am your local member, I know that we can do more for our community together.
