I have been helping companies and individuals obtain intellectual property protection in Australia and in other countries since 2002. I take pride in providing advice that is commercially focussed, and directly relates to my clients' current and future intentions.

Although I am passionate about the intellectual property field, I am at heart a Mechanical Engineer with an engineer's outlook on the world. My roots lie in rural Australia, where I grew up working on my family's sheep and cattle farm. Farming life gave me a love of science, nature, engineering and practical problem solving, which I have built on through many different career and life experiences.

After more than 15 years working with two of Australia's highly renowned patent attorney firms, I decided to establish Argon IP so that I can continue to provide clients with work of the highest quality, and form attorney-client relationships that build trust, and ensuring a premium and personal level of service on a cost effective basis.

When I'm not at work, I spend my time with my family and friends, seeking new adventures (often on a bicycle), playing music, teaching junior judo, or on hands-on home improvement projects. Sometimes I even get to combine some of these activities.
