"I seek the privilege to be elected as your trusted Councillor guided by an ‘expect more’ ethos.
Every Hedland resident should expect more from Council to continue to drive improvements
to the standard of living and enhance prosperity across our Community. Having a young
family means I’m extremely passionate to lead change that improves the town’s livability.

Initially an engineer with the Royal Australian Air Force and now in my fourteenth year as a
senior mining leader, currently with Fortescue, I have real world experience to influence the
progressive change you deserve.

I will use my multi-industry experience to ensure the towns industry representatives better
collaborate with our schools and learning institutions to identify and retain the diverse talent
within the Community.

With fresh eyes, commitment to economic progress, family first principles, collaboration with
the Aboriginal community and supporting all levels of business, I will deliver the results you
expect.
