​I've been with Venturi since July 2019. I chose Venturi for a number of reasons, it was a convenient location, had a great culture and some very inspiring members of the team, plus I have a real passion for technology and enjoy working with people, so I knew it would be the right job for me. Since joining I have progressed far quicker than I think I could in any other industry, Venturi has helped me every step of the way.

I am motivated by progression, both financially and in terms of the value I can add to the company, clients and even my teammates. My biggest achievement at Venturi has to be the fastest 180 deal. I am inspired by people at Venturi, both Dan and George as well as people outside such as Steve Bartlett, Nims Purja and Christian Von Koneigsegg.

When I'm not at work I like to stay active by going to the gym or playing ice hockey. I also really enjoy messing around with computers and other tech as well as drinking and driving/modifying cars (not at the same time!)
