New Staff Member

Hi, I’m your new HPE Teacher, and I’m thrilled to be part of this community.

My journey into teaching took a bit of a scenic route. I spent ten years working at various Optus stores and eventually ended up managing Optus Caloundra. I then felt a strong pull to return to Ipswich and follow my passion for teaching. Along the way, I ventured into disability support, which was a rewarding experience, and later took on the role of Area Manager at Healthy Life Community Services.

I’ve been married to my wife Katie for seven wonderful years; she’s also a teacher. Together, we share a passion for education and making a positive impact. As an educator, I bring enthusiasm, resilience, great communication skills and strong leadership skills to the team.

In my downtime, you can find me enjoying a game of rugby league, soccer or playing board games with my friends.

I’m eager to collaborate with Staines Memorial College in delivering a distinctly Christian education and look forward to the meaningful journey ahead.
