How long have you lived in the area?
Nearly exactly two years now. I was in Wandiligong for 28-29 years.
What do you do for a living?
I'm a musician, so I teach music and play venues. And I've got a music shop – Mountain Music in Myrtleford.
What are your hobbies and interests?

I like working with wood, building things with wood, and I like my veggie garden.
What do you like about the area?
The North East is beautiful. I like it because it has four seasons. Myrtleford in particular I really like now; it has more of a community sense than some other towns. And it’s still close enough if you want to do stuff, like go to Albury or Melbourne; it's in the centre of a lot of things.
Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?
Definitely Mount Buffalo and Lake Buffalo out of Myrtleford. I’d probably recommend the heritage towns like Beechworth and Yack. Even taking a drive up Hotham and over to Mount Beauty – that’s a beautiful spot.
Is there anything you would change about the area?
Not a lot. I'd like to see a little bit more live music in some of the venues. It’d be nice to have a few more restaurants in Myrtleford maybe. But then again, I like it the way it is too.
Do you have any hopes for the future?
I'd like to keep on being involved in the music scene here and see that grow through things like the open mics and teaching. I'm interested in the arts, because I had a theatre company for a while, so I'd like to see the arts grow a little bit more.
