Bio: "I was born in Nambour and raised on the banks of the Petrie creek in a tin shed with a dirt floor. My father was a soldier who returned from WWII and married a local girl. Life growing up was a happy one. My grandfather on my dad's side, was a fella born near Raglan, he was taken by a white fella and put on board a ship. He ended up wandering the west in places like Roma, Cunnamulla and Charleville. He fitted in and survived working odd jobs. Growing up education was an important part of my life and I was successful in a scholarship and went on to study at University at a young age. I became a teacher at first and then went further on to be a subject master, deputy principal and then principal. I later took time off from work to conduct research into historical records and was a part of various research projects, such as the outer lesson suicide of female Indigenous girls around the world in places like Hawaii, Canada, Belgium and France. My education has allowed me to educate others."
