I started working at just 13 years old in a small tyre shop in the village I grew up in. After moving to Australia, at 18 I began my first job at Robina Car Wash — my entry point into the industry I would go on to build a career around.

Not long after, I joined National Car Wash Sales, working alongside Greg Scott and assisting buyers and sellers nationwide. During this time, I was involved in 200+ transactions totalling more than $150 million. Each deal became a lesson in growth, discipline, and personal development.

Over the years, I was also involved in the operation of several car wash businesses. This experience of running and managing car washes on a daily basis inspired me to start Tap N Go Solutions in 2019 — a business designed to help operators modernise with cashless payments. Today, Tap N Go supports over 150 car wash operators and manages more than 1,400 active credit card terminals.

In 2021, Greg & I established Car Wash Developers, built to help new entrants enter the industry with confidence. From consultation and planning through to construction, equipment installation, and commissioning, I’ve been directly involved in five new car wash projects.

Now, after years of experience across operations, technology, development, and ownership, I’ve returned to the part of the journey I love most: sales. Connecting people with opportunities and driving results in the car wash industry is where my passion has always been strongest.
