I was born in Scottsdale and have lived in the Derwent Valley for the past 35 years. I am married to Lee and have four children and also four beautiful young grandchildren. 

I love spending time with them and they certainly keep us busy. 

We have four chickens of “mixed heritage” and two dogs. 

I was first elected to the Legislative Council as the Member for Derwent in 2011 and elected as President of the Legislative Council in 2019. I enjoy both roles immensely. I previously served on the Derwent Valley Council between 2002-2011.
