Sport has always been a big part of Nick’s life.  He has also had the enormous privilege of watching and supporting his daughters from the sideline participate in sport over the years.  He is honoured to have the opportunity to support the development of community and sporting infrastructure and programs that encourage Tasmanians to be active, which we know has more than just physical health benefits.
