I am a fourth generation oyster farmer. I first did a trade as a carpenter, but loved the lifestyle of oyster farming so decided to help manage Dad’s business.

I feel the key to us growing good oysters is our area. We have leases in Smoky Bay, where currents wrap around two islands to create an area of very high water flow. The leases close to the beach can get surf conditions in times of high wind. It beats the oysters up to make them tough and hard with a really nice deep, thick shell. The high salinity current coming in from the Southern Ocean gives a salty pop at the end of our meat taste.

I love motorbikes, fishing and a general outdoors lifestyle. Most of the people that work for us are the same. When we’re not working on the water we are at the beach anyway!
