I have a background in environmental management and a keen eye for detail.  I never use tiresome corporate jargon.

I have worked in land development for over 20 years since moving to Lennox Head in 2006. In 2013 I started my own consulting practice and in 2024 I began directing my skills and experience towards affordable housing - my professional and personal salvation.

Prior to all this engineering I worked in business efficiency, stormwater management, coastal resources, and marine science.  I am passionate about urban design and firmly believe that a good engineer is an environmentalist at heart - doing more with less for the common good is my job.

As a modest gesture to my community, I have been a volunteer ethics teacher at our local school for over 13 years.

This is a particularly flattering picture of me when I was younger.  For a more recent picture, click here.
