Tim is originally from Kingscliff on the Far North Coast of New South Wales. He has a degree in Electrical Engineering from Wollongong University (Member of Engineers Australia) and has worked in a variety of project management and electrical engineering roles. He is married with two children all of whom are actively involved in local sporting groups.

In 2000 Tim moved to Broken Hill where he worked in a variety of community based and commercial roles. He has always been drawn to roles which enable him to work with the local community to enhance opportunities and affect positive changes (Red Cross, Broken Hill Community Centre and PCYC amongst others), both as an employee and a volunteer.

Tim has been actively involved in and managing projects since 1999, with projects ranging from small engineering design to multimillion dollar construction projects. A strong interest in sustainable communities saw Tim most recently undertaking a role which involved introducing modern irrigation pumping technologies throughout northern Victoria.

Tim’s passion is for the efficient supply of electricity. He commenced working at the Mildura Development Corporation in 2011 as the Solar Hubs Project Officer with the belief that we can all have a role to play in reducing our reliance on coal.
