I initially became interested in dentistrty following a course of orthodontic treatment. After graduating from Sydney University, I spent two years in national service, including one year in South Vietnam during which I did a considerable amount of civil aide work. Upon leaving the army, I was in general dental practice in Sydney CBD for 28 years, with a particular interest in endodontics, crown and bridge work and later, dental implants. Following a move to the country, I have done extensive locum work in rural and regional areas in northern NSW. At this time, I began regular periods of practice at Sundial Dental, which have continued to this day. The remainder of my time is taken up with a small property outside of Dorrigo.
