I rebuilt the business, and what followed was 20 years of deliberate growth, pioneering new technology into Australia, winning major contracts, growing into new markets and eventually acquiring a competitor.
By the time I sold to an ASX-listed company in 2021, the business had grown to just under $20M revenue with 60 staff.
Along the way I figured out how to build a business that didn’t depend on me being there every day.
The Result
That meant taking my family away sailing for months at a time, and coming back to a business that had kept moving.
Waymakers exists to help you do the same.
The Next Chapter
The marina deal which funded something that mattered.
In 2013 I also co-purchased a marina with a group of business partners, successfully developed it and achieved a profitable exit with the majority of proceeds going to Safe Harbour Foundation, a charitable entity that funds education programs and the Golden Valleys Adventure Camp in Flinders, Victoria.
Sharing The Dream
Waymakers was launched in 2024 and it exists because I believe more founders should be able to build a business that works without them carrying everything.
The tools, frameworks and rhythms that made that possible for me are exactly what I bring to every engagement.
Outside Of Work
Mornington Peninsula, family, and time on the water
I live on the Mornington Peninsula with my wife and three kids. When I’m not working with clients you’ll find me on the water, competitive sailing has been part of my life since I was young and it still is.
The same values that shaped my previous business, building something that lasts, developing people and doing business with integrity, are the foundation of everything that Waymakers is built on.
