How long have you lived in the area?

I’ve been here for two weeks since I opened the shop. I’m originally from Alexander.

What do you do for a living?

I’ve taken over Ricardi’s Alpine Gourmet Meats – it’ll just be Alpine Gourmet Meats now. Old fashioned and new-style traditional butcher - I'm trying to bring a bit of both to the area.

What are your hobbies and interests?

Hunting and fishing. If I get a bit of spare time I'll go saltwater fishing or hunting sambar.

What do you like about the area?

It’s a beautiful town. It’s busy, I like busy. Yeah, it’s so fast-paced.

Is there anything you would change about the area?

No, I think it's beautiful. I think Bright and its tourism is so far advanced compared to other Northeastern towns. They're doing it right, I reckon.

Do you have any ambitions for the future?

Just to run the shop as good as Peter did, if not better, and keep bringing in good quality meat.
