I manage a diverse and talented group of landscape architects, civil engineers, technologists and technicians. Our division specializes in outdoor sports facilities, and we are experts in synthetic turf fields, sand based natural grass sports fields, competition running tracks, sports/tennis courts, lacrosse boxes, and their associated infrastructure. We are also involved with landscape architecture for land development and public parks and recreation. Personally, I am heavily involved in design, project management, public consultation, contract and specification writing. I have acted as an expert witness for court cases involving sports injuries and field construction failures, and have presented at numerous industry seminars and conferences.

An internationally recognised expert with almost 40 years’ experience of setting quality standards for sports surfaces and sports facilities.
