In recent years he has faced mental health challenges relating to anxiety and burnout and wants to use his experience to help others realise the physical and mental benefits of ‘getting outside’.

He has also raised funds nationally to support the Indigenous Rangers program and enjoys sharing his experiences and knowledge.
