I am a husband, father and grandfather.

I have been a company director for most of my life and understand the responsibilities and opportunities.

I have published 4 podcast series, 2 funded by CBF. 

Community radio stations have a limited number of strategic options, which gives them great freedom. They are a community organisation that require the financial disciplines of a small business. I believe that the primary objectives of any community radio station are:

1. Increase the number of members and the number of participating members. If we don’t grow, we die;

2. Increase the number of on air shows, particularly CALD or Special interest shows;

3. Actively engage with the local community in all it’s various forms, but particularly giving voice to those demographics who find it difficult to get a voice in conventional, ratings driven media.
