Growing up in rural NSW made for an excellent appreciation of the natural beauty of the bush. This practical foundation was a natural segue into the love and study of sciences and the natural environment. 20 years on my appreciation for and respect for science has been furthered by a career in local government and private industry, as well as practical application on our family farm in Thangool Central Queensland.

Primary experience is in government development and approval, environmental science and agricultural practical application and land management.
