Adventurous Dan got his start bricklaying, but a world beyond those clay walls was calling. Swapping his trowel and chisel for a backpack and a map, he spent six years working around the world in the oil and gas industry. But you know what happens when you travel abroad? Epiphanies. Dan realised his true passion was right where he’d left it… in building. He returned home, completed his Diploma of Building and Construction, and hasn’t looked back (or afield). Now, he’s seen luxury builds, first home builds and multi-storey developments from paper-aspiration to 3D-perfection, before overseeing his best builds yet—our mark-makers.
