about

From here I took off to Brighton, England and begun managing a small health food shop. I got the job simply due to being Australian and they know Australians make good coffee and this was where I was introduce to the business side of things.

This role taught me all about managing people and how extremely complicated that can be.

After a year of England, I moved to Shanghai, China, I got the first taste of my career at The Mailman Group - one of Chinas biggest marketing agencies for sports, leisure, and travel.

While here I was tasked with learning web design and development, I couldn't be more grateful of this time as it set me up on a path I was searching for in life but didn't know existed.

On a trip to Dubai to renew my Chinese visa, I was scouted by Amongst Few to run their online store and that's exactly what I did for the next 2 years.

In this role, I was focused a lot more on digital marketing than design and development.

During a trip home to Australia in 2018, I joined my friends at a birthday dinner, during this dinner I needed to get some cash from an ATM. On my way, I saw a completely packed barbershop, and about 100m from that, another fully packed barbershop and that got me thinking. Maybe I should open a barbershop, so myself and Khalid did.

Welcome to life Unison Barber

3 months after opening unison, a deal was struck to open another location in Bikers Cafe with them in their cafe.

Next up was Reef Cuts - a barbershop located in Surf House Dubai to mark barbershop number 3.

Weighing up my options of being stuck alone during a pandemic in my Dubai apartment vs wait it out in my family home in rural Australia. I picked the latter and begun an extremely busy freelancing career as every business needed to launch online overnight.
