In 2022, after 12 years of service, I retired from my role as a Sergeant in the Royal Australian Army. Throughout my service, I was employed in the logistics area which saw me travel both within Australia and overseas. I had the very fortunate opportunity to work with a vast array of organisations, and see the world from many different points of view.

When our daughter Evelyn was born in 2019, my priorities shifted and the Defence life was no longer proving a good fit for our family.  Together with my wife Bee, I decided to leave my Army life behind, and pursue other passions.

During my time in Defence, we were lucky enough to be posted to Adamstown, where we spent a few years enjoying this beautiful city and all it has to offer.  Bee and I both knew that Newcastle was where we would eventually like to call home, and we’re so glad that we made that happen. 

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a passion for everything “Information Technology” and solving IT problems, big or small for people, has always brought me great satisfaction. Over the years, I have accumulated extensive knowledge and skills within the IT space, which has allowed me to not only excel in my roles within Defence, but also to assist my friends, family and colleagues with any IT related issues.
