With over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, I bring a deep, practical understanding of civil engineering, heavy machinery operation, and large-scale infrastructure projects — including roadworks, wind farm developments, high-voltage cable installations, and fencing.

Today, I focus on sharing that expertise through professional training. My goal is to equip the next generation of workers and operators with the knowledge, skills, and safety standards required to succeed in demanding construction environments. Backed by real-world experience and a commitment to excellence, my training programs are built on authenticity, precision, and industry best practices.
