Speaker Profile

I completed a Marine and Freshwater Science Degree at Deakin University Warrnambool in the late 90's and started working at Southern Ocean Mariculture in early 2001; working my way up from an Aquaculture Technician to Production Manager and now Operations Manager. I'm passionate about abalone farming and the people involved, and also the environment we live in; Port Fairy is a special place. I spend a lot of time in the waters around home surfing and diving and have children so looking after the environment is a high priority.
