Within my teaching, I have spent the past 12 consecutive years working with adolescents in a number of different residential schools and programs within Victoria. I have worked at Lauriston’s Howqua Campus, spent six years at Geelong Grammar School’s Timbertop Campus in a variety of educational roles including the Director of Outdoor Education and also taught at Wesley College’s Clunes Campus. All of these places have been highly rewarding, unique to their setting, memorable and highly experiential and I am grateful to have worked in such wonderful environments within Victoria. Educationally, I have pursued studies in the areas of Automotive Mechanics, Applied Science (Recreation Planning and Management), Outdoor Education, Health and Physical Education, SOSE and ESL. At present, I live in Bright with my family and Kathryn and I have three beautiful and energetic young boys, whose teenage and adolescent years are really ‘just around the corner’; Alex (aged 11), Matthew (aged 9) and William (aged 7). Apart from my love of spending time with my family, my interests extend to cycling, bushwalking, landscape photography, kayaking and cross-country skiing.

I feel very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work at the Alpine School Campus. It is located in a very special part of the Victorian Alps and the team of staff who I work with are all committed and highly capable. They too, also share a love for the outdoors and their local environment. Working with students from across the State, brings a range of life experiences to the school, whether it be from a country or city perspective, our students are all very special.
