He has served as chair, committee and member of many community and sporting organisations, as well as a director of Hervey Bay’s Community Bank.

Since being elected, he has had a special interest in the Arts and Culture and Environment sectors, as well as with governance issues. He has been instrumental in revitalisation of the Mary to Bay Rail Trail project.
