My agricultural career commenced at (the then) Australian Wheat Board (AWB) in field operations.  Specialising in grain quality analysis I quickly developed an affinity with the application of objective testing of intrinsic quality parameters using Near InfraRed (NIR) technology & techniques.

Following on, I entered the R&D discipline and was instrumental in developing & validating systems & processes for assessment of grain delivered into store. These systems are still in use today.

I was also involved in the development & commercialisation of IP emanating from AWB's applied research programs. It was at AWB where developed the skills for commodity stock measurement using physical & laser-guided survey techniques.

In other project roles I have managed a grain packing facility in Northern NSW, operate as a grain buyer & broker in Queensland & Northern NSW & manage a number projects in the crop variety trials. I also conceived, built & validated a new mechanical screenings device and commercialsed under the brand-name SieveMatic. This device is now manufactured under license.

A new product range, currently under development is the design & implementation of I.T. tools via web-enabled Applications &/or proprietary software such as Microsoft Excel. Some examples of these applications are provided in the Services page.
