Professional Profile
Canadian Australian dual citizen, based in South Australia for the past 26 years, with more than 35 years of international experience delivering specialist design, turnkey construction, and project management solutions across 28 countries.
My career has focused on the design, development, and delivery of advanced training infrastructure for military, commercial, and educational organizations worldwide. This includes specialized sea survival venues, HUET (helicopter underwater escape training), STCW (standards in training, certification and watchkeeping), and other maritime based training activities, incorporating integrated environmental simulation systems, rescue training aids, and immersive operational equipment.

From 1995 to 2025, I was contracted by Survival Systems Limited, a global leader in helicopter underwater escape training (HUET) systems and marine survival training technologies. In this role, I led the design, project management, installation, and commissioning of training facilities worldwide, including corporate and operational training centres in Canada and international markets.
In addition to specialist training infrastructure, my project portfolio includes commercial and industrial developments such as skating arenas, manufacturing plants, service facilities, and precision machining operations.
