Adam
CO FOUNDER & PASSIONATE HEALTH ENTHUSIAST
Meet Adam. A health and nature enthusiast since his early childhood days growing up on acreage in the beautiful Currumbin Valley.
He’s owned multiple businesses over the last one and a half decades and from his personal experiences feels strongly that businesses should be more so about purpose than profit. In today’s fast paced and consumer driven world you have a responsibility carry out business in an ethical, sustainable and conscious manner. “But most importantly you need to walk your talk and passionately believe in what you do”. He has a strong pull toward spending all his spare time in nature and has experienced first hand (and the hard way) that to live in true health your emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing all need to be nourished daily. His grounding anchor in life are his two beautiful children and his amazing wife Megan who happens to be our awesome in house naturopath. If he’s not working on all things Bush Tucker Blends, you’ll find him in the ocean, hiking or cooking over an open fire.

A self proclaimed ‘good times’ enthusiast , he is an outdoorsman at heart and surfs most days. He has 3 little groms and a beautiful wife to keep him in check and believes that there is nothing more important than family and that a loving and harmonious family unit is the foundation of a happy life.
