As he learned more about the concepts of egalitarianism and social justice, his interest in political economics grew. It was Ben Chifley’s 'Light on the Hill' speech that really resonated with him. He decided to learn more about the movement and spent the next 4-5 years reading up on this topic. He was inv

He volunteers extensively in the local community, in particular for multiple P&C Associations and is part of the executives for Oran Park Public School P&C and Denham Court Public School P&C (as at 2022).
