We chat to the Manager at the National Convention Centre.

The great thing about my job is…

Knowing that I work in an Industry that makes a signifcant contribution to the wider Canberra community, both economically, socially and culturally.

The challenge for industry is…

To continue to establish itself as a serious career path and by doing so, attract and retain our best talent, throughout the continuing growth of the Australia market.

My greatest achievement is…

My two children and being a father.

The biggest thing in MICE this year will be…

The coming together of people to commemorate the Centenary of The Anzac globally.  Whilst this may not be viewed traditionally as MICE, the coming together of people is truly what the industry is about.

I try to relax by…

Exercising – cycling and golf preferred.

I don’t understand why…

5 days a week is the norm, why not 4?

My favourite venue is…

Our National Convention Centre

I’ve always wanted to travel to…

The World Cup, whichever year and city, and somewhere to experience heli-skiing.

I am scared to death of…

Big, hairy spiders

I can’t live without…

Good food and wine

I really wish I had…

More time

If I could invite four people to a dinner party, they’d be…

My best friends over a long lazy lunch with not needing to be anywhere else later

For anyone starting out in the industry one piece of advice I’d give would be….

Do the things you enjoy as they will be the things that you are successful at.
