Updated Autumn 2025
After working for a few years back In Melbourne, I came to the US to study for an MBA at the University of Chicago. Like a lot of my classmates I then moved to New York for a job in finance and have been in same field for over 30 years. I married an American woman, Lisette, who I met in Chicago, and we have three children, all in their twenties. We live in Manhattan, which I love. Happy to provide advice to any Burgmann student or alum who is thinking of studying or working in the US.

I am currently the CEO of the newly established Parliamentary Workplace Support Service. I am married and have two lovely teenagers who are getting to the end of their schooling.
