I have had 36 years farming experience up until 3 years ago when I decided it was time for a change. I wanted a job where I could utilise my skills, knowledge and experience gained from all those years on the farm. So we moved into town and I got a job running the Morrinsville Saleyards.
I am married to Nicky and have 3 almost grown-up daughters.
