Highlight of your career to date?
Training tradespeople is very rewarding at times- when you can see students grasp difficult concepts it is always enjoyable. Also working on large projects such as Navy ships and huge open cut mining equipment can be a blast!

Working with increasingly complex fluid power systems and circuits since joining APT keeps me on my toes. The Underground Loco and high-wall miner projects we undertook were big jobs in terms of timeframes and complexity.

My 3 daughters keep me busy during downtime, and whenever I get the chance you can find me working on old muscle cars and drag cars, at home or with my friends.
