I have practiced Law since 1989. My areas of interest are property, commercial, rural, estate planning including wills, family trusts and powers of attorney. Many of my clients are small to medium business owners, farmers and their families. The trust that my clients have in me is never more evident than when a family member has passed away and I am assisting them through the probate and estate administration process.

EXPERIENCE
I started my legal career as a general practitioner on the West Coast. I no longer do court work but my litigation experience is very useful. Outside of work I am a keen farmer, aviator and a member of the Board of Trustees at my children’s school.
