Wayne graduated from the University of Sydney in 1983 and spent 27 years in mixed practice in Singleton and Bega, NSW where he developed a broad a skill base. Over the years his focus slowly changed to small animals, with Wayne obtaining Membership in Small Animal Medicine in 1998, and completing the CVE Distance Education Course with Dr Russell Mitten in 1999. This spurred a succession of DE Courses starting in 2007 with the completion of Internal Medicine Keys to Understanding, Feline Medicine, Diagnostic Imaging and Sonology. In 2010 he moved to Canberra to work exclusively in small animal practice, where he continued developing his skills in ultrasonography and has a keen interest in feline and oncological cases. When not working Wayne spends as much time as possible in Bemboka on the NSW South Coast where he and his partner Jo have just completed the construction of a new house on their 25 acre property, shared with a menagerie of animals. Wayne brings his range of skills to Feline Medicine DE as an active participant in the discussion forum and as a marker of assignments.
