Born: Christmas island
History: I grew up in rural Victoria where we were relatively self sufficient raising our own livestock and poultry, as well as having an orchard and functional kitchen garden, all of which helped shape my obsession for fresh local produce and an interest in authentic cuisine. We also had both
a Chardonnay and Shiraz vineyard which fuelled an interest in the marriage of good food and wine.
I studied food science at university before finding my true calling in the kitchen when I swapped a lab coat for a chefs jacket and the busy creative chaos of the kitchen.
I worked in a variety of different establishments and hotels throughout Australia and abroad before settling with my fiancée in the northern rivers region to which we now call home.
