Dan is a proud local from Carnarvon, having been born and raised in the region. His family’s business, ST Kuzmicich, has been a cornerstone of the local horticultural industry, supplying fresh produce to markets since the 1960s.
After playing football for Ramblers and a stint with East Fremantle in the WAFL, Dan returned to Carnarvon in 2003 to co-manage the family plantation alongside his brother.
Dan’s leadership extends beyond the region—he served as Chair of Vegetables WA (2015–2024) and is a member of Hort Innovation’s Vegetable Strategic Investment Advisory Panel. These roles have given him valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing growers locally and nationally.
Dan remains deeply committed to supporting the long-term viability of the horticulture industry. His passion lies in identifying sustainable pathways for growers, ensuring they can continue to innovate and thrive in an increasingly complex agricultural landscape.
