| Info | Starting off his career as an apprentice hairdresser and going on to open his own salons, Gary is passionate about developing skills and supporting small businesses.
As a qualified criminal lawyer, and having worked for NT Legal Aid, Gary saw first-hand the need for both youth diversion, skills and job strategies to break the cycle of criminality. Combining these two passions saw Gary open the ‘Deadly Hair Dude’ a not for profit hairdressing and horticulture program.
Gary travels to Aboriginal Communities across the Territory teaching young Aboriginal Territorians the skills to become a hairdresser for their peers. Gary has worked with young people across 44 indigenous communities and in youth detention facilities helping in breaking the cycle of crime and giving kids a better pathway forward.
The Deadly Hair Dude has also commenced a commercial horticulture farm in Yarralin, growing fruit, vegetables and training in biosecurity and cultivating bee hives.
Gary has been highly recognised for his contribution to the Territory including being a finalist for Australian of the year in 2022 and 2023 and receiving the Council of SmallBusiness Organisation of Australia’s National Small Business Champion Award - for being an influencer who makes a genuine difference to their industry or sector.
