Growing up in Beechworth, Victoria, sport was a central part of life. Whether competing at the state level or cheering on his teams, Josh always had a fierce rivalry with New South Wales. When he moved to Moruya Golf Club on the NSW South Coast as CEO in 2019, he carried his Victorian roots with him, including a love for Queensland in the State of Origin, Melbourne Storm in the NRL, and AFL as his number one sport.
Now, Josh is bringing his expertise to Club Whitsunday, where he’s excited to help launch the new venue. With 18 years of experience in club management, Josh explained how the opportunity to build up Club Whitsunday and make it the prime venue in Airlie Beach was too exciting to pass up.
“I’m excited to lead Club Whitsunday and strengthen its ties with the local community,” Josh said. “It’s an opportunity to provide a much-needed hub for entertainment, food, and community events, and to support local sporting groups from juniors to seniors.”
Josh believes in the power of sport to improve both physical and mental health. He plans to make the club a key player in fostering local talent and community engagement.
“Once the club is open it would be great to meet the locals,”
“People will see me around the club most days and I would welcome everyone to introduce themselves.
“Who knows I might be able to get some of the secret fishing spots off someone,” he added.
