My career in the home entertainment industry commenced in 1991, immediately after completing my education, with Clive Peeters. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience at some of Australia’s leading home entertainment and electrical retailers.Although I explored various roles, including a brief tenure in the automotive sector at Suzuki and experience with Cash Converters, as well as time spent in an accounting practice, I consistently returned to my true passion: Audio Visual.In 2000, I co-founded Audio Visual Dreams, a highly successful custom home theatre installation company based in Melbourne. By 2008, I joined Selby Acoustics, where I played a pivotal role in the company’s growth until 2010, when I ventured into the online home theatre market with my new enterprise, The Cable Connection.At The Cable Connection, my team and I established new benchmarks for customer service, both online and in-store, while supporting the next generation of home entertainment enthusiasts in their journeys.Following a year with Westan Australia and four and a half years at BenQ, I also engaged in brief roles with innovative teams at Interdyn, Learning with Technologies, and Promethean. I later returned to Westan, where I lead a remarkable team, leveraging my leadership skills, hands-on approach, and mentoring techniques to drive growth across our distributed brands, business reseller relationships, and overall profitability.Collaborating with esteemed brands such as Epson, Philips, Sonos, Samsung, Onkyo, Audiopro, Pioneer, Klipsch, Jamo, Focal, Naim and Whatmough, we set the standard for what a distributor relationship should entail.
