About

After 25 + plus years in the Travel & Hospitality Industries in various senior Business Development, Sales & Marketing roles I have been enjoying the challenges as Owner and Managing Director of The Tasmanian Gourmet Food Company and it’s associated hospitality businesses such as a Clayfield Seafood Markets, Jack & Will’s Burgers, Schnitzengiggle’s. and the new Hawthorne Seafood Markets. We now operate several locations for our brands throughout Brisbane employing 80+ staff. We work very closely with 3rd party delivery sites such as UberEats & Doordash running a number of dedicated dark kitchen / delivery hubs. On a different note back in early 2016 I took over ownership of Nail Guns Australia and the distribution of GFS concrete nailing products nationally. GFS products are now found in over 60 stores nationally. Developing these brands from the start-up stage into viable long term business's has been personally and professionally rewarding and I look forward to exploring the opportunities and challenges that growing my own businesses will bring in the future.
