About Me

Proud son of a Italian migrant and father of 3, I have lived in the Fraser Coast region for over 20 years.

Growing up in a working class migrant family was tough. My first job was as a 10 year old working along side my dad.  

After leaving school in Grade 10 to help mum pay the bills, I worked as a grocery store shelf filler, aged care cleaner, retail storeman, factory hand, small business owner, club manager, library technician and government worker.

After re-educating myself to give my  family a better life, I've spent the last decade working on the roll out of many local community programs and projects that have made the Hervey Bay region a better place for people to live.

There’s no denying the struggle people and parents face today. As a parent, I understand what trying to budget and save to put food on the table whilst giving the family the best you can is like. As my son’s primary carer I also understand how hard it can be to provide for your family.

As we come out of the COVID 19 pandemic, my focus is to deliver more jobs and better services for our region.
