Jonny has spent most of the last decade helping Indigenous young men gain a top-class education through his leadership of the Indigenous Education Program at The Scots College. In this time, Jonny grew the program from a fledgling concept to arguably the most respected program of its kind in Australia. He was responsible for raising over eight million dollars from private and institutional donors and helping educate over 40 young Indigenous men from around Australia including boys from urban, regional and remote communities.

Jonny has always recognised the need for the development and encouragement of enterprise in remote communities. He has a reputation of making things happen, and is known for his passion in helping young Indigenous people, and building a community of committed supporters and volunteers. As a member of First People Project, Jonny has an exciting pathway in continuing to help Indigenous people beyond youth into adulthood.
