How long have you been involved with North Sydney:

I joined North Sydney in late 1997 as Club Secretary – first season was 1998

How long have you held your position at the club

I was Secretary or President until 2010 when the club merged with North Sydney Bears to create North Sydney United. In the inaugural year I was Vice President and have been President since 2011.

Why do you do what you do for the club

North Sydney has been my family away from home since I joined in 1997. Most of my best friends are people I have met through the club and most importantly I met my wife through the club. We have 2 boys who have played for the club since the ages of 3 and 4 and are very much North Sydney through and through!

What other relevant positions do you hold (Association, Councils etc)

I am a Director of NSFA as well as the Northern Tigers and I sit in on the Sport and Recreational Meetings for North Sydney Council.
