Julian has been involved in the forest industry since 1979 as a scrub cutter and planter while still at school.

After qualifying as a Forest Ranger in 1985 he started a forest management consulting firm in Gisborne-Kohntrol Forest Services Ltd.

Over a 35 year period the company grew to manage more than 10 000has of forest and exporting 150 000-20000mt of logs annually.

He has had extensive experience in most aspects of the industry.

Having been through several cycles of economic and weather-related highs and lows he remains committed to continuing to promote forestry in the region as a legitimate land use.

There is a real opportunity of the region to advance the concept of a socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable industry well into the future.

However, the settings to allow this to happen will take a cooperative, experience, and science-based approach.

Julian was one of the original members of the Eastland Wood Council and has previously been the Chair 2001-2010.

Other Board/Trust appointments include.

- Eastland Network
- Wharerata Forests Ltd
- Gisborne Stevedoring Ltd
- Eastland Rescue Helicopter Trust
