If James Bond had a big eared ginger step child who decided to trade in his tuxedo for a poorly pressed coppers uniform, who enjoyed a healthy dose of "getting shit done", you might have something close to how I turned out. I started out as a (Northern) Territory bush cop and spent my career trying to escape the red dirt, flies and incredible heat of the remotest parts of Australia only to end up navigating my way to balancing on the fine line between order and chaos in Executive Protection, all while maintaining a friendly Aussie accent, even when the situation is anything but.It has genuinely been a rather thrilling ride, if you consider riding motorbikes, going to the range day in day, blowing shit up with explosive breaching and then acting like a civilised Dignitary Protection professional the next day as a way to do things. Starting out policing, I realised that while cuffing the odd ne'er-do-well was all well and good, there was a whole world of high-stakes legit operations out there that would be far more enticing if only I could meet the standard. And thus, I set off on a path that would see my traverse selection assessments, internal and external Australian National Counter Terrorism level tactical police training courses all the while dipping my toes into entrepreneurial business, national political advisory roles (even tipping my hat into the arena twice unsuccessfully) and lately kicking goals with a multi-million dollar firm, Panoptic Solutions, all whilst maintaining a somewhat stern yet friendly demeanor and enjoying constantly being a larrikin.My work takes me across Australia and the Asia Pacific region pretty often, protecting some of the world’s most influential individuals with the kind of quiet efficiency that would make even the most hardened British butler nod in approval. I've also shown a knack for writing and enjoying a bit of authoring, interviewing and podcasting because I'm not merely content with ensuring the safety of others but also growing a business that has become a leader in its field.Of course, I'm the sort who believes in leading by example because I came from the frontlines, and if you’re unsure of where to find me, it's out on the tools, making sure everything is running smooth as a well-oiled machine. I just might be the kind of bloke you’d want on your side in a wrestle – as long as you don’t mind me having a chuckle about it afterwards. Because after all, there’s work to be done, and in true stoic fashion, I'm not one to let emotions get in the way of a job well done. Unless it's a bloody good laugh.
