I'm an entrepreneur (which is just a fancy way of saying unemployed), driven by curiosity, creativity, and the belief that our mindset shapes everything. I've built worked and sold companies across various niches, and I've learned that the line between the impossible and the possible is drawn by belief. Belief that you have what it takes to build value.
After gaining the skills and knowledge to break into the newly emerging UAV sector while still in high school, and spending several years immersed in the industry, I launched my own consultancy to help businesses adapt to this fast-growing field. That foundation led to multiple opportunities to serve as Chief Remote Pilot, Chief RePL Instructor, and industry advisor, partnering with organisations across Australia to advance their uncrewed systems and training.
When the opportunity arose to co-found Timed Automation Solutions (TAS), I brought a decade of technical knowledge and real-world experience to help create a solution that bridges the complexities within autonomy, safety, and regulatory compliance for commercial aerial operations. Today, we're collaborating with tertiary institutions and industry partners to design safer, smarter airspace for our future.
Much of my spare time is spent guest lecturing and mentoring. I partner with universities across Southeast Queensland, contribute to engineering programs, and work with firms that share my drive to push the limits of drone technology. Recently, Arys Capital broke ground on a new mission to build a one-of-a-kind VTOL aircraft - a project that, while still under wraps, will give students the chance to gain real, hands-on experience in a highly technical environment and exposure to invaluable connections.

Beyond the technical, I'm passionate about communication. I've coached many students in public speaking and storytelling because the ability to articulate ideas is the difference between being heard and being overlooked. Engineers, founders, and creators often have extraordinary insights - my goal is to help you express those insights, so you can move people and markets alike.
If I've learned anything worth passing on to the reader, it's this; connections are worth more than capital. Money fuels progress, but people spark it. Sell while you build, because validation comes from the world, not your brainstorming session with Cousin Fred at 2 in the morning. Find a mentor—someone seasoned enough to show you where not to step. And above all, learn to communicate. Clarity compounds influence; the way you speak shapes how far your ideas travel. Want to book me for your next event?
With that said, I'm always looking for new ventures, partnerships, and opportunities to push the boundaries of business, technology, and humanity. Your potential isn't waiting for permission - it's waiting for action. Start today, learn fast, connect deeply, and never stop building what you believe in.
