Tim's a dad to two teenagers, a community sector leader and a lifelong Canberran.
He grew up in Belconnen and is a proud product of a stellarpublic education through Giralang Primary, Kaleen High School and Lake Ginninderra College. He studied languages and history at the Australian National University, and later a teaching degree at the University of Canberra.
He believes strongly in lifelong learning and the need for our education institutions to be available to all.
His career calling has been to community work. Early in his career he helped set up youth health education programs and services here in Canberra, including the Junction Youth Health Service. He went on to set up the men’s sexual assault service response - SAMSSA - at the Canberra Rape Crisis Centre. For a long time now he's worked in the family planning and sexual health space as an educator, trainer and most recently - for the better part of two decades - with Canberra's sexual and reproductive health and rights organisation.
He's been fortunate to grow up in a community with strong bonds, supports and opportunities. But recognises that not all people in our community experience that. That's why he wants to use his skills, experience and track-record to help build a better, fairer and more inclusive Canberra for all Canberrans - now and for generations to come.
And that's why Tim's running as a Labor candidate for Ginninderra.
