I've always liked building things.
My dad built our family home. I was three or four, following him around the site, trying to help with whatever I could reach. That's where it started.
By primary school I was spending whole weekends in the garage making skateboards with his power tools. I'd take the new board and bomb the local hill to feel how the design handled speed, turns, and the occasional oncoming traffic. I'd sell a few to friends to keep enough float for materials, then roll back into the garage and start on the next one.
Not much has changed. I'm looking to buy an established Australian business. Get inside it, understand how it works, and keep building.
What I'm looking for
- Established businesses with a strong track record, loyal customers, and experienced staff
- $500K+ EBITDA with consistent earnings year on year
- B2B services with repeat or contract-based customers
- Recurring or repeat revenue preferred but not essential
- A team in place with someone who knows the business and can keep it running
- Anywhere in Australia

I grew up competing. Swimming, surf life saving, then distance running at university in the US. I've always been drawn to things where good outcomes have to be earned.
I studied engineering and have spent my career in construction management. Coordinating trades, solving problems on the fly, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
I want to buy a business because I want to be closer to the result. When it works, I want to know why. When it doesn't, I want to fix it.
How we work
A lot of buyers out there are corporate groups that absorb companies and dismantle what's been built. We're two guys looking to keep the team, protect the relationships, and continue the legacy the owner has created. We're flexible on deal structure and open to earn-outs, vendor finance, deferred settlements, and transition periods. Whether you're thinking about exiting tomorrow or in five years, we're keen to chat.
I buy alongside a partner who has an established track record acquiring and operating Australian SMEs. Our funding is in place.
