Born and raised on the land at Holbrook NSW where my father managed properties, I had a keen interest in agriculture from early on.
After finishing school, I worked as a jackaroo where I first learnt properly how to fence whilst working on a prominent western Riverina property. The overseer  (a mountain of a man, and ex fencing contractor) taught me of a lot of good fencing tricks of the trade. At the same time, working alongside some very good stockmen allowed me to develop strong stockmanship skills.

After completing my degree in Agribusiness at Dookie College, I spent a few years in the meat and livestock game, first working for a major meat processor based in Melbourne, followed by a two year stint as a stock agent for a large pastoral house. But the time had come for me to do my own thing. Realising that my strengths were of the hands-on practical variety - I began my contracting business in 2005.

I am now based at Albury, where I live with my young family. Servicing a growing client base.
