Personal History

Have been in the Agricultural Mechanisation industry all my working life. Have lived in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and now reside in Western Australia.

My earlier years were spend at Dealership level in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland but the latter years have been in the Corporate world with, Case, Ford Tractor Operations and John Deere.

I am passionate about our industry and the significant contribution it makes to Australian and New Zealand Agriculture - without the Farm Mechanisation Industry, Agriculture worldwide, would be nowhere.

One of the many highlights of my career was being on the board of the TMA (Tractor & Machinery Association of Australia) for 10 years, 5 of which as Chairman.
