Group Executive, Development, Walker Corporation

Where do you live?

The Gold Coast and Maroochydore City Centre a couple of nights a week.

Can you tell us about your family?

I’ve been married for almost 24 years, with three children aged 14 to 20, three dogs and two budgies.

Favourite location on the Coast?

Market Bistro in the Maroochydore City Centre, but the beaches are hard to beat.

Which local person inspires you?

The volunteers behind local sporting clubs and surf lifesaving groups.

Favourite local business?

There are too many to pick just one. Harvest Cafe in Maroochydore City Centre and Mambo Coffee on Sugar Road, Maroochydore, are always my go-to destinations for a great latte.

Best thing about living on the Sunshine Coast?

The easy access to work, beaches and a vibrant cafe and restaurant scene.

How long have you been a Chamber member?

Around four years.

What’s the best thing about being a Chamber member?

Genuine community support and strong connections between members.

Favourite ChamberCast with the President and Pep?

The episode with Jason Garland is one of my favourites. Jason puts a lot of time back into the community, runs a successful locally based international IT business and has a great sense of humour.

Favourite Chamber event?

Coffee Connects are always a great way to meet people. The Mark Bouris event was also a standout.

How can the Sunshine Coast be improved?

Through improved connectivity, particularly with the momentum leading up to the 2032 Olympics.

What excites you about the future of our region?

The investment, infrastructure and opportunities the 2032 Games will bring.

Favourite holiday destination?

Anywhere my family chooses. It’s more about the company than the location for me.
