Fun-loving dad & passionate teacher
He may have been born in Rochford in the UK, but JC found his home in North Adelaide. Here he lives with his wife Katherine, his 4 children, 2 rabbits, 1 bearded dragon and Ruby the Beaglier.
As a decorated surgeon and lecturer, one would assume that JC rarely finds time to have fun outside the office. Think again!
When he’s not enjoying weekend adventures with his family, you can find JC out fishing, playing tennis, or putting his wine tasting certificate to good use at a local vineyard!
And he doesn’t just fight diseases. JC is a brown belt in Jujitsu and has been an instructor at the Peter Morton Academy of Jujitsu in Walkerville.
