Currently he is involved in the sporting programs at Somerset College and works closely with the Physical Education faculty and Sports Coaching Directors at the college. His aim is to identify, prevent, and manage injury to enable students to participate in their sport at a high level safely and responsibly.

“ … for me this is the ideal role I have sought in private practice. To be involved in a team environment with this school-age cohort allows a great opportunity to educate and guide responsible management of musculoskeletal health. To be able to work and communicate with all the staff, coaches, trainers, and health professionals associated with the Sports Precinct is the perfect environment to learn and deliver better outcomes for all the kids who enjoy the facility.”
