Being a local hobbit of the shire gives me the opportunities most people only dream of. With a family of 5 and two of those being my brothers, being the middle child was always hard. Sport has played a vital role in our family which makes us all competitive. I’ve played a total of 9 sports and represented NSW in three of them, swimming, cricket and hockey. I even got to represent my country for hockey in my youth. 

In my 6 years of being a teacher I have had the privilege of being at St Patrick’s. I have taught many years in Grade 4 and one year in grade 5. I used to be the youngest seasonal manager of Kmart Sylvania and was a qualified embosser at a local company in Taren Point. Working hard when I was young gave me the opportunities to go to university and become a teacher. 

When I’m not teaching my life looks very different. I’m either playing our coaching in a variety of sports. I enjoy helping the community in a range of capacities. I enjoy using charcoal and drawing too. Many late nights have happened due to time escaping. 

I’m currently residing in Kirrawee, waiting for a big adventure to come with my lovely wife.
