When I returned to Australia I worked in the public hospital (RNSH) from 2006 until 2014. This work involved treating Burns patients, road trauma, and cancer reconstruction, as well as the training of doctors studying to become Plastic Surgeons. I have also been involved in both local and international charity work through both Interplast and the Foundation for Plastic Surgery, which includes pro bono work and training of local doctors both in Australia and overseas.

The training of other Plastic Surgeons has always been something I have been involved in and I feel proud of this voluntary commitment for the good of the profession. From 2015-2016 I was the National Chairman of Plastic Surgery training. I am also committed to ensuring patient safety and standards of care, having been on the of Castlecrag Private Hospital Medical Advisory Committee since 2008, and Chairman of this Committee since 2015.

I believe in the importance of my own ongoing education and training and regularly attend both local and international conferences to keep up to date with advances in plastic surgery. My work with the Australasian Foundation for Plastic Surgery involves visits to remote indigenous communities to educate local health care workers.

I grew up on the North Shore of Sydney, and now live here with my wife and two children. I enjoy golf, skiing, running and cycling. More recently I have pursued an interest in the study of wine and obtained my level 3 Wine and Spirit Education Trust qualification in 2019.
