      Lieutenant Colonel

      In my parallel career as a Reserve officer in the Royal Australian Infantry Corps of the Australian Army, I have performed a number of command, training, and staff appointments, have deployed on operations, and have delivered tactical, operational and military-strategic organisational results, within Australia and internationally. I have received various awards for tactical application and distinction in training environments. In my last command role, from 2017 to 2019, I had command of over 150 personnel, delivering quality results, often under operational timeline and resourcing pressures, while maintaining corporate governance, HR, and risk management obligations.
