Christopher came to his position with VRFish from Field & Game Australia where he was Operations Manager for more than three years. Prior to that he had more than 20 years commercial oriented experience focusing in the areas of sales, marketing, financial and business operations. Christopher is a third generation recreational angler & is keen on all forms of fishing but has a particular soft spot for dry fly fishing in a mountain stream. He has two young sons & despite the best efforts of his wife they are being inoculated into sharing the family tradition of spending good times outdoors with family & friends fishing & hunting.

Alison-Gibson Alison Gibson - Operations Manager
Alison has only been a recreational fisher for a short while, trying her hand at all styles of fishing, but has been involved in the fishing industry for over 8 years. Starting her career working for the Fisheries Co-Management Council, assisting key fishing experts advise the Minister for Agriculture on all matters concerning fishing in Victoria, including aquaculture, commercial, indigenous, environmental, research and recreational. This background gave Alison a good understanding of the recreational fishing scene and a growing passion to ensure that fishing receives the recognition it deserves.
