He has a degree in Visual Arts majoring in photography from Sydney College of the Arts ( Sydney University ), and completed his post-graduate studies in Art/Photography at the University of Newcastle .

It is this hybrid professional background that has underpinned his teaching strategies in the Photography program at Wagga Wagga. He states, “Regardless of the area in which I am working, it is the context of the work that matters to me. It must permit critical contemplation, allowing an active interaction, stimulating our minds to reflect and ponder on what we have seen.”
