A father of two, Pat and his wife Ilona have chosen to live and raise their family on the beautiful Mid-North Coast to make sure their kids get the kind of upbringing only the regions can provide.

Born and raised in Kempsey, Pat’s family still live in the town and across the Hastings.

Pat has dedicated his life to helping people in our community spending 12 years as a cop before becoming a respected local lawyer.

Over many years, Pat contributed much of his time pro-bono to women’s shelters, youth groups and community legal centres.

Alongside this, Pat has run his small business for over a decade and has a deep understanding of what it means to hire locals and what havoc the increased taxes under a Labor government had on our local industries and jobs.

After seeing the fantastic investment in our region, Pat wants to work to make sure this continues whilst focusing on making sure our power prices lower, our services keep up with demand and more job opportunities come to the region.

Pat doesn’t back away from a challenge and isn’t afraid to stand up for the Mid North and Coffs Coast if it means putting others offside.
