Hometown
Loxton, Ngawait, Ngintait and Erawirung country. (The Riverland was a busy place before the Brits!)

What I do
I’m in charge of the production department. Stage management, set, props, lights, sound, wardrobe, surtitles, wigs and makeup all work for me. I manifest the ideas of the designers and directors into three-dimensional form on this astral plane.

My favourite opera is…
Always the one I’m working on now… I’m not being glib… One must buy into the ideas of each piece otherwise why do it?

What I enjoy most about working at State Opera
No day is ever the same

When I’m not at work, I’m…
Cooking for my wife and kids… or chasing my 7YO daughter around the golf courses of Australia.
