Born and raised in Toowoomba, I moved to Canberra with the Army more than 10 years ago to study at ADFA.

My wife and I fell in love with Weston Creek and Tuggeranong, which we now call home. We are proud parents to three young children, ranging from daycare-aged to primary school.

Including 10 years in uniform, I have dedicated my entire working life to protecting Australia’s national security, with a particular interest in the Pacific.

We learned from the territory election that Bean voters want fresh, energetic representation and someone who will stand up to put our community back on the map.

Labor has taken this electorate for granted for too long, assuming your vote is guaranteed.

Bean deserves a representative who will demand action on the issues that matter – cost of living, safe communities and borders, and a better future for your family.

This starts with more affordable homes and cheaper energy.

If you’re in doubt as to who to vote for, ask yourself a simple question: “Is my quality of life is better now than it was three years ago?”.
