Additional Background

I believe my business career more than adequately provides me a base to handle the pressure and responsibility of representing the residents of Wollongong and Ward 1. Having successfully created three "start-up" businesses, I would view becoming a Mayor or continuing as Ward 1 Councillor as another exciting challenge and continuation of the business mentoring role I already have had with the 3 businesses.

My proudest community achievement certainly was being elected as a Councillor on Wollongong City Council representing Ward 1 on 3rd of Spetember 2011.
