How long have you lived in Canowindra and what do you like about it? I moved here when I was three and left here when I was 18 to join the Royal Australian Navy and returned in 2007 after being injured on a Tour Of Duty. I wanted to raise my kids in Canowindra.
Where did you serve? I served on HMAS Manoora and completed four tours to Iraq. I also was involved in the capture of the Tampa boat and with the gun amnesty on the Solomon Islands to make it a safer place for all.
How long were you in the Navy? I was in the Navy from 2000 until 2007 where I was discharged medically unfit after being injured on my last tour of Iraq.
What did you like most about being in the defence force? I love most the friendships that were formed and that are still very strong today. I can travel around Australia and know I always have a bed to sleep in from the strong friendships that are formed.
Where will you be this ANZAC Day? I will be attending the local march in Canowindra with my children and then heading to Eugowra for the ANZAC Memorial Harness Race.
