I have been doing school maintenance work for over 5 years now, but only started at Don Valley in 2025, but love working only 10mins from home rather than over an hour away. I am finding Don Valley an awesome place to be with the staff and students here a joy to work with, and I look forward to being here for many years to come.

I have 3 adult children (all working in Education), and 2 adult step children (both interstate), and 10 grandchildren ranging in age from 18 months to 20 years old, and enjoy spending time with them when I can but with some of them interstate, that is not as much as I would like.

I have previously worked on off-shore oil rigs, managed farms, been an accountant, and built and restored Pipe Organs among many other jobs, so have a wide range of experiences both in Australia and overseas.

On my time away from work I enjoy playing golf, bushwalking and camping with my amazing wife, or reading or building things
