I'm Australian

I was born and raised in a small country town in southwestern New South Wales which has less than 900 people. I went to boarding school for six years and earned degrees from the University of Melbourne and Deakin University.

​

I've visited over 40 countries. I've lived in Venezuela, Vietnam, South Korea and New Zealand during my career as an Australian public servant and as a diplomat.

​

After a long time away, I'm now living in Canberra and it's awesome to be home and putting down roots with my partner, Jeff, and our sons.

Recognising First Nations peoples and cultures is important to us.
We acknowledge the First Nations people as the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and connections to land, water and community. We pay respect to the Elders of the Ngunnawal, Turrbal, Kulin and Gadigal Nations past and present. Always was, always will be.

We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua and Treaty of Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand. We pay respects to Māori as the mana whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand.
