  • I started my apprenticeship straight out of school to follow my passion for creation.
  • Started with a heavy focus on aluminum works, Ute trays, canopies, water tanks, etc.
  • Towards the last few years of my apprenticeship, I got a lot of exposure to stainless pipe work, to the point that I was running jobs with my own apprentice as a fresh tradesman.
  • I earned a bit of a name for myself as someone who could fit almost anywhere to weld and fabricate piping in extremely tight spaces, enabling the business to progress forward and take on more work, leading to emergency repairs during fishing operations.
