My Bio
I landed in Australia on Australia Day in 2009 — excellent timing, if I do say so myself — and have called it home ever since. I started my journey at the Great Aussie Bush Camp before moving into Outdoor Education NSW, where I built a strong passion for creating meaningful, engaging experiences and keeping calm in organised chaos.
I then spent nine years with the Central Coast Mariners working across events, community engagement, and game-day operations (everything except playing on the field). In 2024, I stepped into my current role as Promotions Coordinator at Mingara, where I bring ideas to life and help create memorable experiences for members and guests.
Outside of work, Married 14 years this year to my wonderful wife Shelley, I’m a proud dad to George and Rivah, who keep life busy, fun, and never dull. I’m driven by creativity, connection, and building experiences that bring people together.
