Several years ago I decided to become a celebrant because it was something that I believed I could do well and enjoy.

I have a background well suited to celebrancy as a result of both my business and academic background.

Professionally, for the past nine years I have been self employed as a private tutor specialising in assisting adults prepare for entrance exams and the interview process for positions in the emergency services, with particular emphasis on police recruitment.

Prior to being self employed I worked for the Department of Human Services Wangaratta office in several roles including the field of child welfare and resource management. I appeared in the media many times in this role and was well known in the local community.

I have always taken an interest in community work and have been a president, secretary and board member of an Apex Australia club. Currently I am involved on the committee of the Blue Ribbon foundation.

I also have a Bachelor of Arts Degree, a Graduate Diploma of Education and a Diploma of Marriage Celebrancy from the Australian College of Celebrancy.I have worked as a secondary school teacher and Tafe lecturer, and have a Cert IV in Workplace Training and Assessment.

My wife and I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia and Egypt and I have performed ceremonies for people from diverse cultural and social backgrounds.

My extensive experience in public speaking has given me the skills needed for quality delivery of a ceremony. I am committed to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism and look forward to meeting with you to discuss your needs.
