Founder | Sold 2023

After an illustrious career growing and exiting 3 businesses, I’ve now turned to investing and advisory to fuel my passion for business. But success hasn’t come easy with lots of twists and turns along the way. 

After quitting school halfway through year 11, I went on to launch multiple businesses with little to no success.

Hitting rock bottom at 26 with no money or assets, I refused to quit partnering with a good friend to launch a door to door sales company in Wollongong. 

Taking the lessons learnt from my first few failures, I built the business from the ground up to a multi million company within a very short period of time before ultimately selling it. 

From there, I went on to start, grow and exit another company, this time in the automotive industry, before moving back to launch my speaking career.

Using LinkedIn to grow that business, I saw a huge need in the market for companies looking to sell and market themselves on LInkedIn. 

Not long after that I started linkfluencer®. Over the space of the next decade I grew the business to an international sensation helping over 35,000 businesses in 65 industries and 35 countries before ultimately selling it in 2023. 

Along the way I’ve been fortunate enough to win numerous awards, judge/present at hundreds of events worldwide and become a spokesperson for entrepreneurship for some of the biggest news outlets around the world. 

Today I spend most of my time as Chief Operating Officer at eventflo, teaming up with two mates to help pioneer a new era in events.  

When I’m not doing business, I like to get involved in social causes I’m passionate about, travel the world, invest in property, spend time with family and take my car out on the track.
