I was born and raised in the South West, and I’ve spent my life living and working in regional Western Australia. I’m proud to call Warren–Blackwood home — a region rich in natural beauty, industry, and community spirit.

I’m a third-generation farmer, and the values I learnt on the land still guide me today: hard work, honesty, and showing up when it counts. My wife and I have raised our two kids here, and like every local parent, I wanted them to have access to quality schools, reliable healthcare, and good opportunities — without having to leave the region to find them.

Before entering Parliament, I built a career in regional development and advocacy, working alongside small businesses, farmers, health providers, and local councils to deliver real outcomes. That experience taught me something simple but powerful: politics should be about people, not party lines. I bring a straight-talking, common-sense approach to Parliament. I don’t chase headlines — I focus on getting things done.

I believe in:

• Better access to health, aged care, and mental health services, no matter your postcode

• A strong, sustainable future for forestry and farming, built on innovation and respect for the environment

• Backing small businesses and local jobs, because thriving communities need local opportunity

• Caring for our environment — ensuring our forests, waterways, and wildlife are protected for future generations
