Before joining Crewcut in  October 2023, I worked as a professional beekeeper. While I’ve had experience with desk jobs, I’ve always enjoyed exercise, being outdoors, and the freedom of self-employment. Crewcut stood out to me as an established system with a trusted brand, which made the transition smoother and more secure than starting entirely from scratch.

I don’t see this as just a job. One of my greatest joys is forming genuine friendships with clients. My goal is to build a business that’s not only successful but community-focused and relational.

My wife also supports me behind the scenes, especially with some of the veterans' bookwork, helping the business stay organised.

My strengths in this industry include a strong attention to detail, customer friendliness, and the physical fitness needed to handle the job. With a ute and trailer, I’m able to manage significant green waste removal, and I bring a wide variety of tools to ensure every job is done right.

Outside of work, I treasure time spent with my children and grandchildren and find great purpose in serving at my local church.

Since joining Crewcut, one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the importance of having backup equipment. When tools break, repairs can be delayed, so having spares is essential.

My advice to anyone thinking about joining Crewcut is simple: If you love working hard in all weather, and you’re motivated by physical work and independence – go for it!
