My background is in owning or running food companies, specializing in healthy food. I have lived and worked in four countries - New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and the US. My current role as founder and CEO of Milkadamia US came directly from my work in the macadamia industry, where I managed a macadamia oil pressing business and a vertically integrated macadamia nut processing business simultaneously. I have been a partner in a breakfast cereal business, eventually purchased by Kellogg's. For a short time, I owned and operated an amphibious tourist bus on and around Sydney Harbour - the most fun job imaginable. I have been married to a terrific, complex, warm, baffling, engaging, supportive, and undeniable woman for fifty-three excellent years. We have two daughters, three grandchildren, and one small dog. I have read my share of self-improvement books and management books, but ultimately, I have learned that genuinely liking people is the most rewarding and productive life and leadership skill. The way to get people to enjoy working for you and become superlative is to first genuinely find a way to like them and be excited about what you will achieve together.
