Peter holds a Diploma of Hospitality Management and Diploma of Wine and has worked at some of Australia's finest establishments, including Sydney's Ritz Carlton, Melbourne's Grand Hyatt and Brisbanes' Vino Restaurant. While he thoroughly enjoyed travelling the world on renowned cruise ships such as the QE2 and QM2, Tasmania's reputation for fine wine and premium produce lured him back to port.

In addition to his vast experience working with some of the countries finest chefs, Sean is also an experienced fine art photographer having travelled to London and Spain, as well as all around Australia exhibiting his work.
