As your Keswick Ward Councillor since 2014, I have focused on delivering efficient services, keeping rates low, improving parks and playgrounds, expanding street tree planting, reducing energy consumption, strengthening waste and recycling programs, and making our streets safer for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. I live in Ashford with my wife and we have three children and two grandchildren.

With more than 35 years’ experience across the technology, energy, water, education, and superannuation sectors, I bring a practical understanding of how complex systems work. I am Chair of SPELD SA and a Justice of the Peace. My professional qualifications include a Master of Business Administration, postgraduate Cyber Security credentials, and I am a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. These experiences have equipped me with the skills to engage with people, listen carefully, and drive meaningful change. I remain your independent, proactive voice—focused on ensuring Council services continue to meet the needs of our community.

Really proud to see Richmond Primary School ranked in the top 10 public primary schools in South Australia.

With fantastic staff, a strong culture and a genuine focus on students, Richmond Primary continues to outperform and deliver great outcomes for local families.

Two of our kids went through Richmond Primary, and we were delighted with the development, learning and confidence they gained during their time there.

The only real challenge is the lack of space, including open space. Given the State Government’s push for increased housing density in surrounding suburbs, it would be great to see a more strategic approach to school infrastructure.

I walk around our suburbs frequently and it surprises me just how many people are not aware of these SA road rules.

Giving way to pedestrians when turning... if you are turning at an intersection, you must give way to any pedestrian who is crossing the road you are turning into (Examples 30 and 31).
