I moved to the Whittlesea area in 1977, initially living in Lalor before moving to Epping where we lived for almost 40 years before moving to Wollert where I live now. This area is my home and where I’ve married and raised my children.

I served on the Shire of Whittlesea Council from 1979 to 1986, including a term as Shire President in 1982. I returned to the City of Whittlesea in 2016 and served as Mayor in 2018. My priority has always been representing the community where I’ve chosen to live.

Professionally, I represented Air Pilots for 28 years and, since retiring, I’ve worked as an Industrial Relations consultant and an Independent Company Director/Trustee for Superannuation for 34 years. I also volunteer as a Justice of the Peace.

As our region develops, we need essential infrastructure to support growth. I look forward to engaging with and representing residents throughout my council term.
