My Story
My career began as a diesel fitter and aspiring professional footballer. I was pursuing my dreams, but in an instant, everything changed.
A workplace accident resulted in the amputation of my leg.
I didn’t just lose a limb — I lost the ability to do my trade, my income and my sporting future. But the biggest loss was my identity — how I seen myself and how others seen me.
What followed was an enduring journey over several decades. Legal struggles, failures, mental and physical challenges and unimaginable personal loss to mental health.
I have been to the bottom several times. But I didn’t stay there.
I reset. Again, again and again.
Today I am an experienced executive and transformational leader with over three decades of experience driving operational excellence, innovation, and cultural change.
Now I have chosen to reset again and align with my purpose -
to help others by sharing my lived experiences and the learning.

Having coached and mentored over many years, my passion is in developing future-ready leaders with the transferable skills to deal with real world scenarios and deliver tangible outcomes.
“Behind every great result is a person or team of people who made it happen.”
Even with the best systems, process and technology it's people who:
- Perform the processes
- Operate the systems and technology
- Respond to challenges and make decisions
- React to change
Great outcomes arise when people are equipped with the knowledge and tools to unlock their potential.
My unique learning experiences and delivery platform are designed to develop your toolbox of core skills and knowledge that can be applied to any role, any industry for the rest of your life.
Safety and Mindset Speaker
I know what it means to break.
And also, what it takes to rebuild.
Having started my career as a diesel fitter and talented football player - I knew where I was going and what I wanted to do.
But a tragic (but preventable) workplace accident changed everything.
My leg was amputated and my world turned upside down.
This was tough, I thought this was the worst thing I was ever going to experience but I was wrong. What followed was decades of legal struggles, failures, mental and physical challenges and unimaginable personal loss to mental health.
Finally, I have connected with my purpose - to help others. I share my story and my learnings to inspire others to own their own safety, find resilience, lead through adversity, and transform setbacks into strength.
