| Info | I started my working career with the Westpac Banking Corporation in Naracoorte, South Australia and was transferred to Alice Springs in 1994.
I was very lucky to meet so many nice people when I arrived, and quickly found myself as a member of the Golf Club, playing footy for Federals and tennis on a weekly basis. It became increasingly obvious to me that there were many opportunities here in town which I never dreamed of and decided I wanted to stay.
In 1997 general election campaign, I worked with John Elferink in his quest for the seat of MacDonnell. Following his success I left the Bank and took up employment as his electorate officer. This job was fantastic training, hopefully for my role as your local member. It helped me develop an understanding of how to get things done in Government, how the Parliament operates and more importantly to meet a wide range of people and appreciate their concerns.
In 2000 I nominated and was successfully elected as an Alderman to the Alice Springs Town Council. I have served on the Sports Facility Advisory Committee for four years, as Chairman of the Planning and Infrastructure Committee and as Deputy Mayor. I am proud of a number of projects the Council has undertaken and in particularly some of the projects I was involved in are; the improved sporting infrastructure, lights at Flynn Drive Oval, renovations to the Senior Citizens Centre and Totem Theatre and the safety lighting in the Todd Mall.
In 2001 I left John Elferink’s Office and started with a new firm, Ray White Real Estate. Real Estate has been very rewarding and allowed me to continue my role as an effective Alderman and also continually meet new people.
In October 2003 I was successful in gaining pre selection for the CLP in the seat of Braitling for the next Territory election.
Currently I am a member of the Central Australian Show Society, Australia Day Council, Alice Springs Turf Club, Geelong Football Club and previously I was the vice president of the Alice Springs Art Foundation.
I am committed to Alice Springs and I would be honored to be your voice in parliament.
