My family goes back three generations in Port Fairy, and my wife Jelena and I are currently spooning food into a fourth generation while we make aeroplane noises. I work as a mental health clinician (social worker) and I try to apply the lessons of that work as often as I can in my decision-making for the people of Moyne Shire. What benefit will this decision deliver and to whom? Who misses out? How can we make it fair, and what does it mean for the future?
I have previously worked in real estate, hospitality, retail and education development. The common link is people. I love the natural landscapes here, the wildlife and the history, but it’s the people and their communities that inspire me.
Aside from all that, music feeds me creatively and surfing gives me space.
