"How can you work in Oil and Gas and still care about the environment?" It's a question I've been asked in a myriad of different ways throughout my career. I've been fortunate enough to work in various Supply Chains for more than 20 years across Defence, Mining, Construction, Oil and Gas, Renewables and a handful of other industries.

I'm incredibly grateful to have received a Bronze Award in the Abstract category at the 2026 Exposure One Awards for

The Tuff Truck Challenge was Australia's premier off-road 4x4 rock crawling event, held annually in Milbrodale, New South Wales, since 2001. This event is currently not running.
