I am passionate about challenging conventional processes, fostering strong industry relationships, and driving lean, effective operations. My goal is to deliver well-planned, sustainable communities that meet market demand while maintaining financial discipline and executing at the highest standards. I enjoy building dynamic teams and creating a high-paced environment that prioritises 'best for project' outcomes.
“Engineering is my foundation - it's where problem-solving meets real-world impact. When I build infrastructure in communities, I'm working with people, plant and materials. Each technical challenge we tackle, from designing road systems, essential infrastructure to crafting new neighbourhoods, shapes how people will live for decades to come. The real reward hits when I drive past a project years later and see families making it their own, kids riding bikes on streets we mapped out, communities thriving in spaces we engineered. That's what keeps me in the game - knowing our technical expertise translates into real Australian communities. It's not just about building structures; it's about building futures. And that's work worth doing, time and time again.”
“I drive strategic capital allocation across our diverse portfolio of land development and investments. Beyond my core responsibilities in financial reporting and compliance, I lead the financial aspects of our business acquisition strategy, focusing on opportunities that exhibit excellent economic characteristics to help address Australia's housing supply issues. My expertise in structuring funding solutions, optimising cash flow, and implementing risk management frameworks is instrumental in our formula to deliver projects. I believe in creating value through strategic, purpose-driven investments that deliver both commercial returns and community benefits.”
“I believe great outcomes are built on trust, teamwork, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. I take pride in leading teams to uphold the highest safety, quality, and environmental standards from start up to completion. At Tierra we are streamlining our operations allowing quality project delivery to be prioritised. My goal is to ensure we not only meet our objectives, but surpass them, unlocking the dream of home ownership for more Australians by bringing premium homesites to market sooner.”
“When I envision our communities, I see more than streets and homes – I see future memories being made, traditions taking root, and families thriving in our great country. What fills me with pride is knowing we're creating enduring spaces where multiple generations will share their joys, and build their legacies. At Tierra, we're not just developing land – we're crafting future stories Australian families will write for years to come.”
