From 1995 to 2001, I was the editor of The Australian & New Zealand Wine Industry Journal.

My technical and scientific background (MSc. in agricultural journalism and BSc. in biology) enable me to keep a sharp eye out to assure that technical and scientific nomenclature is accurately presented in the proceedings.
