Paul has been a trainer for 25 years in the construction industry, teaching Cert II Construction pathways, but predominantly Cert III Carpentry Apprentices at TAFESA.

In 2023, he transitioned into running his own small carpentry business alongside two days a week in the private training sector, working with year 10 and 11 high school students at Marcellin Technical College.

During his employment at TAFE SA, Paul coordinated all aspects of the 1st year apprentice training area which gave him a great understanding of the problems that apprentices face with work and in life generally.

Paul enjoys being back on the tools, whilst still working with students, guiding them with daily challenges they may encounter through their life and learning experiences.

A long association with MATES in Construction has installed a great deal of passion in this area for Paul and he thoroughly enjoys giving back and supporting people in the industry.

Paul has a lot to give based on his work and life experiences and is looking forward to providing support.
