Arrived in New Zealand in 1978 fresh from a dairy farming background in Wales after Dalgety Crown offered me a position within the company.  After 12 months I leased and then purchased a farm.  In 1988 I entered into the real estate industry selling rural real estate in the greater Matamata Piako area specialising in farms and lifestyle blocks.  In 1994 I obtained my Branch Managers Licence and AREINZ. I joined LJ Hooker in March 2011. I have an extensive knowledge of the rural market.  My  passion is matching buyers to sellers, whether they are first farm, third farm or small lifestyle block buyers.
