| Introduction | My home is in Willagee. I enjoy my community, my neighbours and all that makes this place special. I volunteer as Justice of the Peace. Owning a local business in Willagee and working around WA taught me about long term planning and resilience. I’ve coached local sports teams, worked as a mine labourer and as a geologist, worked in Africa and around WA. Four years on a City Council taught me about working effectively with community groups. I’ve learned much from the diversity of people here. Growing up in the country, I learned early that when something needed doing it was best to roll up my sleeves, get some friends together and get started. There’s work to be done here to ensure that future generations enjoy this city as much as we do. Balancing environmental, social and economic components of our future is important to me. I hope this matters to you too. My family, my friends and my neighbours all tell me they want to feel safe, they want to feel good about the future and to know there’s someone listening to them. Taking care of these needs is what I do. You can call me any time. I feel obliged to help because others have helped me. |
