Magic story

I was born in Auckland, NZ. Both my parents were in the Air Force at the time; I spent much time on the base. At the age of 5, we got posted to a small town at the top of the South Island call Blenheim; this was to be my home for the next 20 years. Growing up, I loved playing rugby/league and softball, making different representative team along the way. Blenheim was such a beautiful place for growing up. On the weekends, I would also enjoy fishing and swimming in our beautiful rivers, and skiing in the winter. 

Throughout my school years, I really enjoyed woodworking. I knew this was something I wanted to procure. Fortunately for me, our next-door neighbour was a builder with an excellent reputation around town. After school, I would always go over to his place, watch and help as he was renovating his own home. Our relationship grew, and he could see how keen I was to be part of this craftsman trade. 

At the age of 15, I became an apprentice carpenter under the leadership of Ron Davis, a thriving residential builder based in Blenheim.

Mr Davis only demanded perfection. He did not allow me to pick up a power saw until I could cut straight with a handsaw. He would not even let me use a nail gun for the first 2 years, only a hammer! He taught me to be a master craftsman and how to complete detailed and complex projects from the ground up. He taught me to build well!

After completing my four-year apprenticeship with Ron, I started to train his upcoming team of apprentices. I worked as a qualified carpenter building new architecturally designed quality homes in Blenheim until 1995. Then I moved to Australia where I continued to be involved in the trade and in 2007, I completed the Certificate IV in Building through the Master Builders’ Association of NSW. I became a Fully Licensed Builder and Direct Building Solutions Pty Ltd was formed.

This was the same year I got married to my beautiful wife Desi. We now have two amazing sons, Aden who is 10 years old and Eli who is 8 years old. I am hoping they will grow up wanting to be builders like their Dad, but at present, they want to be YouTube Superstars 😊
Most of my weekends now are spent as a family, which is amazing, taking Aden and Eli to their sports, bike riding and kicking the ball around.

I have a great passion for building sustainably. As an MBA Green Living Builder, I am qualified in the construction and maintenance of high quality, sustainable homes. My in-depth knowledge of the latest sustainable technologies allows me to create exceptional homes that do not need constant artificial cooling and heating. It means they are better for the environment and will allow you to save money in the long run.
​
I am very proud of the quality of the homes that we create for each client. Our word of mouth referrals is a testament to our quality and commitment.
