It all begins with an idea. Watching and chatting with Adam from Drone Hire Australia Group as he surveys the mobile tower over the road with a drone and trying to pin point a transmitter on a far distant mountain!

I have been looking for my next venture to complement my past experience and passions and it hit me!

I have flown drones for many years, since they were first available and I even flew it inside the house towards gaping windows and out over the beach, swinging to the right and I watch on the camera as it was so far away and all of a sudden it disspeared and into trees as i could see leaves. It took me 24 hours to retrieve it but i did so with the help of a very kind gentleman who saw me clambering over the trees outside his ocean view apartment on the escarpment at Saphire Beach and he offered me a harness and rope to climb down the drop! I couldnt find it that day but returned the next day to find and recover from about 5 metres up off the ground.

You might be thinking why tell us about a mishap? well the answer is that life is full of excitement and adventure and not everything goes to plan however these experiences help you learn and make you sharper for the future unforseen events.

​"I bring my years of experience making observations on a 1700-acre farm as a child, followed by formal training in heavy industrial environments. My foundation includes 13 years of rigorous industrial experience with ICI and Orica, helping to run complex maintenance shutdowns, and Plant Engineering and Management positions on the largest petrochemical site in the southern hemisphere.

​Since 2000, I have been at the forefront of Australian innovation—designing and building advanced engineering inventions.

Combining this deep technical design capability and decades of observing diagnosing structural mechanics with cutting-edge drone and photo technology, I am excited to bring unprecedented clarity to asset intelligence."
