I am easy going, with a motivational training style that draws the audience in to my message, leaving a deep impression, allowing personal introspection. I am often referred to as the ‘Excuse Breaker’, helping my audience recognise that they are in the driver’s seat – they have control of the direction of their lives. I empower people to see that they have the capacity to achieve whatever they want. They are left with the impression to not wait and watch life go by, but instead - go out and get it!I am regular guy who has had some significant, real life challenges that everybody can relate to. My life went from charmed to challenged, and I share what I learned in the process. Instead of admitting defeat as my new business suffered, my wife became deathly ill and my ability to provide for my family of 5 children became extremely strained, I learnt and now share how to dig deeper, exploring what actually makes life worth living.Participants leave my sessions inspired to make massive change and achieve their dreams, regardless of what challenges they may be facing. Along with being inspired to do and be better, they leave with practical tools they can implement daily to ensure they not only dream about their goals, but actually go out and achieve them. They are inspired as well as empowered to go and take action.In addition to my inspiring message of ‘acting in spite of life’s challenges’, I am an experienced trainer and facilitator, and frequently speak on other topics such as:• Becoming a Master Salesman• Understanding and Developing Your Personal WHY• Resiliency• Going All In

I launched and managed Rising Up Fitness as a way to make fitness and exercise accessible to a broad range of people living busy lives. Health and fitness has always been a passion of mine.
