“I’m proud to serve my country here and on deployments overseas doing construction tasks such as airfield engineering that provides air power for Australia’s security.”

I was born on Turrbal country (Brisbane) and raised on Quandamooka country (Birkdale) and I currently live on Yuggera country (Ipswich). I will have served in the Royal Australian Air Force for going on 18 years in September 2024, joining as a qualified Carpenter in 2006. Now I have the rank of Sergeant, and I am a Works Supervisor.

My operational service includes Operation Slipper, Operation Landscape, Operation Okra, Operation Accordion, and Operation COVID-19 Assist. I am very proud to be the head coach of the RAAF Rugby League Indigenous team and the head coach of the Australian Rugby League Indigenous team.
