Animal Nutrition TSR – Franklin, North West Waikato
Having grown up on a dairy farm in the South Kaipara region, I have always held an interest in and affinity for farming. I’ve been in Ag sales since 1990, with a couple of short stints outside of it in other industries, but I always find myself drawn back to agriculture – mostly because farmers are a unique bunch to work with. You can still do business on a handshake in many cases, and there’s something special about building a relationship to the level where you’re invited into their homes.
I moved to the Waikato in 2003 and have been here ever since. Over the years, I’ve worked for companies selling a diverse range of products, from ag chemicals to electric fencing, cattle weighing equipment and technology, milk replacers, and related products. I’ve also spent time in the sheep milking industry as a Milk Supply Manager, overseeing some farms from an operational standpoint.
I’m motivated by learning and increasing my knowledge base, but mostly by helping farmers improve their businesses by boosting profitability and, most importantly, ensuring long-term sustainability – animal nutrition being an essential part of that puzzle.
