Summary

I have lived in the Bega Valley area for most of my life and have a very strong connection to the local communities and people both through 20 years of our self operated transport business and numerous sporting clubs and community groups that myself and my family have been involved with. I am not one to stand back and watch, rather jumping in to assist or manage many volunteer roles. I have been involved in a large number of large community functions and fundraisers and enjoy being part of being assistance to those that are doing it a bit tough as I have also had personal experience of being on the other side. I have had many roles as either President, Secretary or committee person in a large number of groups and like to see a job through from start to finish with good outcomes.
