In 2007 I joined the rural salesteam at McDonald Real Estate servicing the North Taranaki Area.

I have been farming a sheep/beef andgrazing block in Tarata since 1994 and have enjoyed the farming backgroundand still retain 50ha with a mix of forestry and grazing. Nineteen Years of Board of Trusteesexperience has held me in good stead to view all sides of many different peopleand their needs.

Twenty-five years in the woolindustry and three in the dairy industry have given me a very good overview of the ruralsector and I enjoy extending that knowledge into the real estate market.

I have four wonderful independentdaughters who are all excelling in their fields and three stepchildren - allliving their best lives.
