He is Canberra's leading trainer, having won the trainers' premiership in the national capital in three out of the last four years. Nick has formal tertiary qualifications in horse management from the University of New England and over twenty years experience in the industry. Nick had worked several years in the stud and breeding industry before moving into thoroughbred racing. Previously he has held the stable foreman position for trainers Ken Callaughan and Barbara Joseph.
