I was a paramedic. Then I built three trade businesses.
I didn't come up through consulting and I've never worked in a bank. I was driving ambulances, the job was wrecking me, and I went and started something of my own.
First a landscaping business, built to seven figures. Then roofing, built to multiple seven figures. Then DreamCourts — over $100 million in courts sold, and one of the largest court builders in the country. In 2024 that got me named Victorian winner of the Business News Australia Young Entrepreneur Awards.
Three industries. Three crews. Three sets of books. And underneath all of them, the same handful of numbers deciding whether you make money or just stay busy.
That's what I do now. I go into trade businesses, find the money that's leaking out of them, and hand the owner a plan to go and get it.
