As a policeman, I have helped and protected the public from criminals for 34 years. I have also been a prosecutor in the magistrate’s, children’s & domestic violence courts and a specialist fraud detective. I am a fighter against corruption and am very experienced at investigating, questioning, scrutinising and holding people accountable. ​

​

Born in Ballarat, I am an independent candidate with integrity, common sense, reliability and a practical, no-nonsense approach. Being a councilor is about community service, not being a politician. Local Issues not politics. Most people are dissatisfied with the council's performance, not delivering on its core functions properly.

​

Council needs to prioritise, using our money wisely, instead they are wasting our money on things that we don’t want or need, without real consultation.  I want the council to deliver what the community wants: back to basics, roads, rates, rubbish, footpaths, free parking, drains, elderly, disability and youth services, parks and gardens, public safety, street cleaning, small business, sporting facilities & public amenities. no junkets. The silent majority matters.

When elected, I will represent the best interests of the community. I will scrutinise, ask questions and hold them accountable for delivering on what we want.
