Worked at Personal Likes
I have been married since 2002 to my wife who has live her whole life in and around the Caboolture area. We have a joint passion for real estate building ourselves a portfolio of properties and we have also renovated and flipped houses. I love golf and motor sports and have a couple of car set up for track days at lakeside to release my need for speed. I am an extremely easy going and very patient person, I love people and enjoy achieving my goals. I have my own earthmoving machinery and enjoy working around my 10 Acres developing the land into what I want.

Worked As sales consultant at Dump Trucks, Excavators, Core Drills
2002 – 2009
When i first started with the company i was a truck driver moving wide loads i.e. Houses all over QLD but i rapidly became a supervisor of my own team where i still continued to drive the houses but had more responsibility and duties. The role gave me plenty of verity and the opportunity to gain construction skills inc, roofing, stumping, decks and even full extension builds enabling me to improve on my existing carpenter skills. It was not long before i was promoted into the office where i was employed as a sales consultant. After only one year i was promoted to sales and purchasing manager giving me total control of all homes purchased and sold within the company and sales team. The promotion did surprise me with the talent and experience of the excising sales team but i embarrassed the role and managed to increase all previous sales levels in quite a short period of time and maintain them. At all times i was still active with the logistical side of the company along with my main duties and enjoyed the challenge the role brought me including the active role of designing the new homes. At our peak we had a sales team of 5 people working on our new and used homes and as sales manager i would hold regular sales meetings and training sessions. Great Times but due to downsizing of the company and the company owners taking on greater rolls three of the managers where made redundant.

Born 1969 in the UK, when first leaving school I worked as a steel erector where I later became a supervisor which took me to many European countries. I spent 4 years working for McAlpine quarries operating Dump Trucks, Excavators, Core Drills, Screening Plant, Crushers, Forklifts and worked in the maintenance department.
I became a truck driver and I decided it would be better to buy my own truck working for myself which i did for some years before moving to Australia.
