Looks after the community

Tony’s most rewarding achievement in his career was being responsible for designing an insurance program for the AFL and Cricket Australia following the collapse of HIH.  At the time, many clubs were unable to play as they were uninsured following HIH's collapse.  By designing a National Insurance Programme for both sports, many clubs were able to obtain affordable insurance again. This meant kids all round the country were insured to play sport at their local club again.

Tackles challenges

Tony loves to be challenged. In 2008 he conquered Mt Everest alongside the England cricket team all in aid of several worthwhile charities.  He even got to bowl a few overs at Base Camp in an official match. In fact, at the time the match made the Guinness Book of Records for the highest ever altitude for a competitive cricket match!

Family man

Tony’s family are of extreme importance and he very much enjoys spending quality time with his wife Luanne, and their 3 children.
