Small Works Manager

 

As Service Manager at Fantail Services, I coordinate with clients and oversee small works teams to ensure every job runs smoothly and efficiently. I’ve been in the electrical industry  since leaving college and am a proud Registered Electrician with years of hands-on experience. I lead a skilled team delivering quality service across a range of projects. My goal is to keep growing the team and raising the bar for service excellence. One of my proudest achievements was delivering 180 homes in a subdivision in under three years. Outside of work, you’ll find me on the golf course, spending time with family, or working on the house.

Commercial Project Manager

I joined Fantail Services to grow alongside a dynamic, forward-thinking company. I now lead project delivery in our commercial construction team. My electrical background and love for engineering made project management a natural path, especially with my drive to solve complex problems. I’m proud to have introduced systems that help our teams work smarter and more cohesively. I value honesty, reliability, and genuine care, qualities I aim to bring into every project and team interaction. Outside of work, you’ll find me riding motorbikes, surfing, programming, or capturing moments through photography and film.
