I'm the Managing Director of TAAP Fabrication, with over 24 years of experience in orthotics manufacturing. My career has been dedicated to developing and refining the processes that bring high-quality orthotic devices to life. I hold Certificate III and IV in Polymer Processing and have extensive engineering experience, which allows me to approach manufacturing with both technical expertise and innovative problem-solving. My specialty lies in polymer processing, where I apply advanced methods and processes to deliver efficient, precise, and reliable fabrication without compromising on quality.
I’m constantly researching and developing new products and techniques to improve outcomes for our clients. I believe that great orthotic devices begin with great conversations—every product we fabricate is a reflection of our commitment to listening, learning, and delivering solutions that truly make a difference.
Just as important as the technical side, I value building strong, lasting relationships with the businesses we partner with. I enjoy working closely with our clients, understanding their needs, and welcoming new challenges that push us to improve and innovate. I regularly collaborate with clinicians, researchers, and suppliers to stay ahead of emerging trends in orthopaedic care. My goal is to ensure TAAP Fabrication remains a trusted partner in advancing mobility and comfort for patients across Australia and beyond.
As Managing Director, I’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of orthotics professionals. I foster a culture of precision, curiosity, and continuous improvement across our team.
