Ashley is a local to the Lake Macquarie / Newcastle region, living here since he was born in 1983.
He is married to a very strong and supportive wife Lauren who also grew up locally in Newcastle. Ashley and Lauren have been through many challenges with child birth including a full term still birth and miscarriage.
They are very fortunate to have three children with them Yasmine, Harrison and William and will never forget their little Isabella and peanut.

Ashley works in finance, specialising in mortgage broking and enjoys helping others in any way possible.
“What interests me with this project is the possibility to change the future for many families with the research being conducted as the insights could unlock a world of change and potential future advances that can help families in many ways”
