Political career
Joining the Baustralian Parliament in 2018 under the premiership of John Timpson, he was made Member of Parliament for Holderton-East and Secretary of State for Ostreum.

He held this position before being succeeded by Ella Parker and taking up the position of Secretary of State for Justice. He currently is the Speaker of the House of Commons.
Military career
Joining His Royal Navy in 2019, he took the position of Baustralian Armed Forces Chief warrant officer, and held the rank of Chief petty officer, 1st class (now Warrant officer). He was made a CPO1 almost immediately due to his experience as a member of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, now ranking Warrant officer, 2nd class.
