My personal & professional values have been shaped over the past 43 years in the dental industry. During my 20 years in the Royal Australian Navy, I developed a strong sense of teamwork and leadership. The variety of roles I performed gave me considerable skills in the Clinical and Technical environments. Using state of the Art technologies I was privileged to start working in the field of Implantology during the introduction into Australia. Most of my work out of the dental industry was centered on education and training, where I completed my Diploma of Education. I have been a member of the Australian Dental Industry Association for more than 18 years where I have gained my extensive knowledge of our industry. I am familiar with the governing body’s policies to develop a better dental industry in Australia. In the past 18 years I have been working with Ivoclar Vivadent as a Territory Manager and Product Specialist Technical - Removable prosthetics and more recently Digital Dentures. I strive to continually improve the standards of our industry (specifically removable prosthetics). I feel strongly about our duty of care to our fellow human beings, and have a deep sense of responsibility to educate and mentor both dental Prosthetists, Technicians and Dentists.
