| Experience | |
| I have authored over 50 publications since 1994 (listed below), all relating to eucalypt systematics, ecology and biochemistry, including 39 refereed scientific articles and the reference books Eucalypts of South Australia and Eucalypts of Victoria and Tasmania. I am director and head of research at Currency Creek Arboretum (CCA), a world-renowned eucalypt research arboretum, including the cultivation of over 900 species and subspecies of eucalypts. Over 50 publications have been published, accepted for publication, submitted or are in manuscript, which have used the resources and/or data of CCA. I am self-employed as a consulting arborist/botanist/ecologist. I have consulted to numerous government organizations, private companies and individuals for tree identifications, tree hazard and health assessments and species selection and field trials, including the production of Significant Tree Assessment Reports for over 4000 trees in the Adelaide metropolitan area since 2003. I am also employed as a casual teacher in Biological Sciences at The Flinders University of South Australia. I have been invited to speak on eucalypt arboriculture, botany and ecology at numerous seminars and conferences, including: | |
| 1) | Keynote speaker at national conference Small ornamental eucalypts - Society for Growing Australian Plants at Hamilton, Victoria on 6th September 1998. |

| Awards | |
| 2003 | Centenary Medal awarded by the Governor-General for service to the community, through the establishment of a eucalypt research arboretum. |
