As a non-drinking, animal-loving vegetarian, I’ve been lucky enough to turn my passion for a healthy lifestyle into a profession. I founded Unique Health Products in 1996 and have been thrilled to watch it grow from a one-man-band into a medium-sized business employing more than 120 people. I love watching my staff become healthy, happy and business savvy. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me spending time with my beautiful family, at the beach with my gorgeous Labradors or down at the park throwing a Frisbee around. My favourite products are Braggs ACV & Aminos, Hawaiian Pacifica Spirulina, Cellfood (I’ve been taking it for 33 years), ACURE, Gimme Seaweed Chips, Byron Chai and I just love Extraordinary Foods’ Kale Sprinkles!
