My greatest achievement is… Having 2 beautiful baby girls

The biggest thing in MICE this year will be… Keeping venues up to date with technology

I try to relax by… Water skiing and fishing

I don’t understand why… We over complicate hotels and hospitality

My favourite venue is… The Golden Sheaf in Sydney

I’ve always wanted to travel to… South America, and emerge myself in the history

I am scared to death of… Snakes

I can’t live without… Beer, and my wonderful wife

I really wish I had… A really big boat, large home on the water, and my own private jet

If I could invite four people to a dinner party, they’d be… Jimmy Barnes, Richard Branson, Jordan Belfort, Cameron Diaz

For anyone starting out in the industry one piece of advice I’d give would be …. Be passionate, listen, write notes when being trained, show enthusiasm and above all have fun
