“A little background on myself”

I have 3 passions in life, Family, Construction & Fitness. I have a wife Kc, daughter Frankee & sons Willis & Van, owe an a Bill (fur child). I’ve lived on the Sunshine Coast for most of my life, played almost every sport there is to play and loved them all. My achievements come in Rugby league, Rugby Union, Soccer and Field athletics. I competed at state level in all four during my teens and early 20’s. I’m a passionate boatie, love fishing and generally love anything outdoors and challenging. In 2012 I opened up a gym as a hobby business and it continues today, fitness, health & education is very important to me.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to build things, I grew up around construction and mechanics an was drawn to it from early on. I started my Carpentry apprenticeship a week out of grade 12 and completed it in a little over 3yrs (2003). A week out from completing my apprenticeship I started my own company, I started small mostly contracting for large project builders and as my knowledge and confidence grew I started expanding into renovations, extensions, and retail fit-outs. I built my first home in 2008 and have continued to work in all areas of construction since.
