Meet Simon, one of our Executive Directors. With a big, easy smile, he’s excited to lead the KTS team in his latest adventure in his physiotherapy career. Simon comes from the Wheatbelt and South-West region of Western Australia and has always had a love for all things remote, including the Australian bush, landscapes, and the intangible qualities that make country people the best in the world. He moved to Broome in 2008 and immediately fell in love with the Kimberley and its extraordinary beauty, which he has no plans of leaving anytime soon.

With almost 20 years of experience as a physiotherapist, Simon has dedicated the last few years to helping people with disabilities live active, meaningful, and joyous lives. He prides himself on his ability to get along with anyone in any situation, which he attributes to his eclectic group of friends and eccentric family.

When he’s not working, Simon spends his time with his family and friends, including being climbed on by his two daughters or enjoying the beach with his staffy and a beer in hand. He dreams of Kimberley escapes and occasionally gets to make them a reality.
