Our Team

PAUL – Director

Growing up on a farm, Paul took a keen interest in building things from a young age. The enjoyment of problem solving back then has developed into his interest of intricate designs today. He loves working through challenging plans and seeing a clients vision become a reality.
In his spare time, Paul has always been an active outdoors person. A busy relaxant. This is where his love for moto x racing began at the young age of just 6 years old. Still a very keen rider today, he now also enjoys the more slow paced past times of fishing and boating with his family.
