I am standing for the North Ward without bias, I will represent everyone from Glenhope, Mia Mia, Tooborac, Nulla Vale, Pyalong, Glenaroua, Sugarloaf Creek, Broadford, Reedy Creek, Tyaak, Tallarook, Trawool, Whiteheads Creek, Highlands, Tarcombe, Avenel, Mangalore, Seymour and between.
As a sole parent, I moved my family to Mitchell Shire over 10 years ago.
With a passion for my local area, I built an off-grid home on 200 acres in rural Tallarook.
My youngest attended Tallarook Primary where I was School Council president, he then went to Puckapunyal and on to high school at St Mary’s.
I’m chair of 1st Puckapunyal Scouts, have been on the committee for the Puckapunyal and District Neighbourhood Centre, and a member of Glenaroua Landcare.
Professionally, I’ve had an international career in the automotive industry, including research and development through to senior management and chief executive.
At heart, I’m a working-class kid, but comfortable in the boardroom or the council chamber and can don a suit when needed for the fight.
The North Ward has a great rural history with sometimes generations on the farm and in the towns.
I’m supportive of our towns and farmers alike.
It is for all the people of the North Ward that I put myself forward.
My focus is on the council basics of roads and essential services, such as rubbish. Get them right first and maintain a high standard and from there, we can prosper.
