I have been involved in real estate now for 25 years working with agencies in the Eastern and South Eastern areas of Melbourne: My roles have included Property Management, New Business, National Business Development Manager for a major utility connection company and two rental payment solution providers.

Before entering the industry, I was a fully registered builder with the HIA and the Housing Guarantee fund which has provided me with the skills and knowledge to understand and effectively communicate most maintenance issues that come up.

This business can be complex, intense, frustrating – sometimes heart-warming and hilarious and by building good relationships with both renters (tenants), residential rental providers (landlords) and tradespeople, I have managed to maintain a sense of humour and understanding that has assisted me over the years.

Outside of work, I like to play guitar, go fishing and on the odd occasion, fly light aircraft out of Lilydale Airport.
