During my time at Beards logging, i felled and bunched for a swingyarder averaging 550 tonnes per day. Here i have gained experience using a fixed based falling set up with a satco processing head. I was operating in a wide range of conditions from rolling to steep country.

After cyclone gabrielle i left hawkesbay in search of work. I found work at Fast where i started out in the processor then was given the opportunity to learn the Falling machine. Here i gained experience using tethered winch systems.

During my time at DGL i refined my skills in the processor. i worked in hard country not designed for a swingyarder. This was due to doing cyclone clean up settings, ultimately resulting in me searching for higher production work.

I started my forestry career at DGL. Here i did 6 months breaking out before making my way into a processor. I gained experience in a wide range of machines such as skidders, loaders, the backline machine and forwarders.
