Manager Learning and Development

Rio Tinto is a leading global mining group that focuses on finding, mining and processing the Earth's mineral resources.

After my less-than-successful car racing career didn't pan out, I decided that I better get to work figuring out what I wanted to be when I grew up. I knew I liked building and designing things and working with my hands and I started down that path early in school and in work. Not long into my professional work, I also learned that I cared for people and their experiences deeply and I had a knack for relating with them. Many opportunities arose out of those interactions for new pathways in my career. These skill-sets have served me well working in Learning, technical and leadership roles in Software, Information Systems, Manufacturing, Mining (Copper, Gold, Silver, Molybdenum), Exploration Drilling, Health & Safety, Automotive, Heavy Equipment & Industrial Plant Maintenance. As a leader, people continue to be the reason for my success. When I am not working, you can find me riding BMX bikes or motorcycles with my family, attending concerts, or on the sidelines of a lacrosse field or basketball court. I still love cars, and always look for time to play with and acquire new projects.
