In their own words

The Seat of Essendon is not just a place I am campaigning in. It is a community that has been a part of my life through my Family, Work, Business, Sport and Community Service. I was born in Melbourne to hardworking migrant parents who taught me the values of honesty, respect, hard work and giving back to the community.
