I have lived in Maitland all my life. I previously served as a councillor on the Central Yorke Peninsula Council; also as Chairman of the Maitland District Hospital. I ceased these positions when all Councils and Hospitals amalgamated. This was due to increasing family and work commitments. I worked in the family business for forty years and now oversee the company, Gunning Automotive Group. Customer contact has made me very aware of what ratepayers would like to see happen moving forward. As the father of four, now adult sons, I have always been interested, involved and sponsored many sporting groups Peninsula wide. I will continue to live locally. I am passionate about future development and subsequent growth of the tourism, business and rural sectors. I now have the time and desire to give and to work for the wider community of Yorke Peninsula.

I have a military background of 20 years service. My wife and I moved to the Yorke Peninsula 7 years ago, deciding to make Minlaton our home. I was impressed by the area and the welcome given to us by the community. I am now Team Leader of Leisure Options Woodshed which involves helping the clients with projects for themselves, family and friends. I find this very satisfying and it helps to get me involved with assisting other's in the community, such as Girl Guides, Senior Citizens, Minda and the Minlaton Museum. I volunteered at the air show for the Harry Butler Celebration, am a Life Member of RSL and Foundation President of Probus YP. I have willingly donated my time and/or handmade wooden items to many community organisations. If elected I will do my best to represent fairly the area that I am proud to call my home.

From my professional and life experience I know that listening to the community is a key factor in making decisions on your behalf. If elected, I'll draw on community knowledge as well as my wide experience as a strategic Senior Manager and Board Director. I bring expertise in the fields of communications, leadership and stakeholder engagement over 35 years working in a range of organisations including global corporations, government, planning and development, media, and community services. Originally from SA's mid-north I have a big picture view from living and working across Australia, while valuing the sense of well-being and quality of life that cohesive and supportive communities generate. In 2008 I chose to make Yorke Peninsula my home. My interests are economic development and sustainable use of resources, community safety and well-being, the natural environment, equitable access to services, accountability, and positive outcomes for the community.

Born in Minlaton, I have lived on SYP all my life. I am married to Alison we have three adult children. Two of whom live in the council area. I am a very approachable person, always happy to have a chat. For the last 30 years I have owned and run two car Dealerships at Minlaton and Yorketown. While running a small business and employing staff I have learnt to be a good listener. I also have vast experience dealing with the community along with corporates, banks and financial institutions. We need people to 'live, work and play' in our council area. I will promote facilities to encourage this. I understand there are a wide range of issues that affect retirees, young families and visitors. To me, investigating the cost benefit of any proposal will be a priority, this will ensure the best outcome.
