I started my career in law in 1998 and in 2010 I obtained my Master of Laws, specialising in construction law. I’ve assisted clients Australia wide on all levels of construction matters both in drafting and in dispute resolution.

​

I’m a father of four, I own two jugs (Jack Russell pugs). I’ve always been an avid outdoorsmen. Having worked outside for the majority of my life I find it very difficult to be indoors for too long and I work mobile just as I did in construction. I’m very passionate about helping my clients, and I take their problems very seriously , having experienced the pain and the gain of construction myself personallyI understand my client’s problems intimately, .
