As an Owner/Manager of an agricultural property for over three decades I am acutely aware of the business skills required for Tasmanian farming families. During my time at the Cape Grim Water Company I honed my skills in new business development, lead generation, and sales meetings, successfully marketing a premium Tasmanian product to a local, National and Global audience.During my tenure at The Cape Grim Water Company I also championed the Tasmanian brand in the food and beverage sector collaborating with Tourism Tasmania in the Come Down for Air campaign, with the Stanley and Tarkine Tourism Association and numerous Interstate and International Film Crews as "The Rainfarmer".I also have a strong history participating in, and leading, Community Boards within the agricultural, economic development, local government, built heritage conservation and community service sectors.
