A professional leader with a strong technical background. Accumulated a wide array of fire engineering skills over his career and is driven to build a business reputation for providing the highest possible level of service of a fire engineer. Focussed on practical, buildable solutions and identifying issues early on that could otherwise result in designs that cannot feasibly be adopted on site. A firm believer that fire engineers should remain involved with projects through to completion and directly assist in the coordination and implementation of the fire strategy into the designs of others rather than disappearing after producing the fire strategy performance specification.
