Why you are serving on the Board? I saw CCB as an excellent community organisation and an important pathway for our central coast kids to express themselves and also to give them opportunities to excel and compete and the highest levels. I wanted to use my skills as a company director to assist and grow a Not for Profit local organisation and as I have a passion for sports, I am very excited to be able to have some fun and enjoyment along the way also, whilst staying focused on improving the business of running sport. Your role on the Board I joined the board in 2022. I have a role within the Executive and Finance committees. Your background in relation to your portfolio on the Board I am a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and my expertise and experience is focused of the business side and sustainability of the organisation. I own several businesses on the Central Coast including Queen of Hearts Racing, South End Social and previously Lightning Brokers. I am a board member of You Connect and also the Vice-Chairman of The Entertainment Grounds and Gosford Race Club. I have lived on the Central Coast for all my adult life after meeting my wife Michelle over 20 years ago. We have two boys, Jack and Ethan and we live at Copacabana. We are a sports mad family, and when we aren’t playing sport, we are watching sport!

The Commercial Committee is dedicated to driving financial sustainability, fostering strategic partnerships, and accelerating commercial growth. By introducing new revenue-generating initiatives, enhancing brand value, and strengthening commercial partnerships, we aim to create a sustainable framework that supports and expands the opportunities and resources available to our CCB community.
