I'm an entrepreneur. I run ALT. I love working with like-minded people. This is where I explain what I do — for the people I haven't met yet.

What I do

One mission: help business owners win bigger, with less noise.

Everything I build lives under one roof — ALT. Three ways in, depending on where you are and how close you want to work. Plus a podcast, a quiz, and a decade-long challenge I'm running in public.

Across the Table

Every week I sit down with some of the most interesting business people in New Zealand. Real conversations about building, leading, and the stuff nobody puts on the highlight reel.

The Challenge
$10 Million
in 10 Years.

I set myself one goal: build $10 million in 10 years — and document the whole thing. The wins, the dumb mistakes, the lessons that cost me money so they don't have to cost you yours.

The future I'm building toward is simple: a lean, profitable business, a small team of A-players, and time that's worth more than money. Less width, more depth. This site is where I keep track of it — out loud.
