Profile Summary

I have lived in the area for more than 60 years. I have had 22 years in business as a fruit and vegetable retailer/wholesaler and prior to that I was a banana grower in west Korora.

My civic background was initially with Apex and Rotary - I have been a member of Rotary for over 30 years. 

I have an interest in surf lifesaving having served as the president of the Coffs Harbour Surf Club and president of the North Coast branch of Surf Lifesaving Association. 

As a Councillor, I enjoy making a contribution to the community and have a particular interest in the Regional Water Supply project and developments in waste management.
