I am a Justice of the Peace (Qualified), a Student Pilot, Massuse, Company Director, IT Consultant, Photographer, DJ retired and a Eccentric!

Yes. I was Lee Kernaghan's Personal Assistant. From 2000 to 2010. I have since moved on to more rewarding roles.

Now I am Projects and planning coordinator working with a great team at the Evolution Road Maintenance Group. An ever expanding national company serving local and state governments, major infrastructure projects, events and many other clients across Australia. I draft plans using cad and submit these to receive council and state government approvals and police permits. My specialty is drafting multiple drawings for large scale events and major projects. I love what I do now and the rewards it brings. Evolution is a family based organisation with great ethics and recognises its number one asset - Its workers. I intend to show Evolution the same loyalty I demonstrated to previous employers. With the knowledge that I am now being shown the same loyalty and respect in return.

I since around 2005 I have also been leaning toward community representation. I have been chosen by my neighborhood to speak on their behalf on a number of issues effecting our local neighborhood. We formed the Queens Arms Community Action Committee (QACAC) of which I was elected Chairman and media liaison. We successfully lobbied to stop a dance club open right next door to our character tin and timber residential homes. I was invited to represent the nearest affected neighbors in the set up of the Valley SEP. Recognising those venues that for years have been hosting Brisbanes music scene, establishing boundaries and buffer zones between the clubs and venues and the character areas of the Valley and New Farm. Read our initital submission to Cr David Hinchliffe here.

We have successfully lobbied local and state for traffic signals, traffic calming and parking meters with resident exemptions. At the moment our community have big issues with direct marketing company The Smart Group and their Brisbane office intruding apon our right to quietly enjoy our neighborhood. There's more about that at www.ArthurStreetAlliance.com

As a Justice of the Peace (Qualified), I continue with the community service theme. Sworn in the state of Queensland November 2004, I assist the Queensland Police Service, the Crime and Misconduct Commission, Customs and other authorities with warrants, searches, representing minors, examinations and the general public with powers of attorney, document certification, affidavit and statutory declarations to point out just a few of the powers we use to serve our communities.

I have been a volunteer with the Youth Affairs Council of Tasmania, Queensland Rural Fire Service (Blenhilm), Cerebral Palsy League, Life Line stores, JP services in the Myer Centre and in the Federal Magistrates Court.

You may ask why I have this available online. Firstly for myself. A collection for me to reflect on what I have done and the path that has brought me to where I am today.

NOTE: comments I make on this and other media are my own and should not be taken as any reflection on my employers. At times these comments conflict with the views of my employers, past and present. They are my own and should be cited as such unless specifically noted.

If you see anything that you feel is wrong, don't walk by.
Do something about it or let someone else know that can sort it.
If you can help someone, extend your hand, don't turn away ....
