Experience:
With over 10 years in the not-for-profit sector and 5 years in local government, I’ve worked alongside councils, businesses, schools, community organisations, housing agencies, leisure centres and sports clubs to create community programs and partnerships that bring people together.

Bio:
Being part of Open House has been an incredible blessing. I’ve seen firsthand how its vision of creating a place for people to belong, comes to life through genuine friendships and a welcoming community.

I’m grateful for my amazing wife and two beautiful daughters and family is something I deeply value. What I love most about Open House is how it reflects Christ’s love in practical ways, welcoming everyone, no matter their story or background. This community truly feels like an extension of my family.

Over the years, I’ve served in various roles, from youth mentoring and leading the youth team to developing new programs and now overseeing services. Each role has taught me so much about people, community, and living out values of respect and love.

Outside of work, you’ll often find me camping, fishing, riding dirt bikes, hiking, playing basketball or enjoying the outdoors.

Open House has shaped the way I connect with others, and I believe it will continue to make a lasting, positive impact for years to come.
