I have been involved in Manly Rugby for four decades, having played from fifth to first grade with the Manly Marlins between 1993 to 1998 (winning the Shute Shield Premier title in 1997), serving on the board previously during some of the Begg years, and also serving as a Trustee of the Manly Rugby Foundation. Since November 2023 I am now proudly serving as its Club President. In addition to this, I am an accomplished insurance lawyer and leader who has been advising both Australian and English insurers in the General Insurance sector for 30 years. As the national practice leader of Hall & Wilcox’s national insurance division, I am a member of the firm’s executive leadership group and board of partners. I manage a large national team over eight offices, and am focussed on ensuring our people, our clients and our community all thrive. Most importantly I am passionate about Manly Rugby, the Manly Community and I look forward to bringing together all the skills I have to help Make Manly Rugby Great Again in this post covid era, to see our young players develop into better rugby players, better people and for them, our members, our juniors, our sponsors and the community at large to have great experiences and lifelong memories from their visits down to the village green at Manly. I also want us to win a Shute Shield again. It is time.
