About Ryan

As a lifelong Tamworth resident, I have worked in disability care, spent years running my own videography business, and I currently work in I.T. I’m an active participant in the Tamworth arts community, a member of various environmental community groups, and I’m raising two step-kids with my partner.

After surviving my battle with testicular cancer during the height of the pandemic lock-downs, I decided to get active on a local level and help make real changes to improve the liveability of our community. This volunteering and advocacy led me to run for the Greens as their candidate at the 2023 state election. When the election was over, I was touched by the number of people who reached out to me, from across the political rainbow, encouraging me to run for council.

I was successful and became not only the first ever Greens Councillor on Tamworth Regional Council, but the youngest ever councillor at the age of 32.
