Who am I?

​

I am a motivated leader who values clear communication, resilience, and mutual respect. Passionate about empowering others to succeed, I thrive in high-pressure environments and prioritize teamwork and collaboration to achieve common goals.

​

Outside of my professional life, I am a devoted husband to my wife, Narelle, and a proud father to my daughter, Ariana. Born in Adelaide, when I am not with the family, you can find me on the West Lakes golf course or the basketball court at Port Adelaide with my mates.

I place a strong emphasis on ongoing learning and development. While I have extensive knowledge in my field, I approach my work with a mindset that values growth and the willingness to be proven wrong. My motivation is not driven by ego but by the pursuit of being better than the day before.
