As a rural sales agent I offer deep experience in the South Taranaki dairy industry and a positive, proactive and personalised approach to farm transactions and succession planning.

Being the fourth generation in my family to become a dairy farmer in South Taranaki, I understand the highs and lows of the business, and that selling a farm, particularly a family property can be an enormous and life changing decision. 

With this in mind, I work with clients to explore all the of the options available to them and make a plan that best suits their needs and desired outcomes – whether that be a short-term sale or a longer term succession.
