I have been a Liberal Senator for Tasmania since 2016 and am currently the Federal Shadow Minister for Home Affairs.

I am a proud sixth-generation Tasmanian and grew up in north-west Tasmania.

I enjoy getting out into our local communities in Tassie to see the fantastic work of the many unsung heroes who often go unnoticed, and love seeing the work of small businesses that are the backbone of our state.

As a father of three with my loving wife and a passionate Tasmanian, I am excited about future opportunities and the potential of our state.

Tasmania has so much to offer, and I want to see our young people stay in the state and build their careers and families here, rather than move interstate after graduating from school, TAFE or university.

I have been close to the policymaking process for my whole career, formerly working in the Tasmanian State Government and the Federal Government.

I care deeply about issues that affect my home state and will always stand up for Tasmania if I think we are not getting a good deal.
