My home in the expanse of the internet...
I am a solicitor in Sydney, Australia. My practice focuses on wills and estates and elder law, with additional work in conveyancing, commercial law and leases.
Before becoming a lawyer, I spent over twenty-five years in the construction industry.
Outside work, my main roles are husband and father, and when time permits (often with a gin and tonic), I enjoy dabbling in software development and I am an aspiring fisherman who does not get nearly enough time on the water.
Current Projects
Matters
In Daily UseA personal attention layer for legal work. A native macOS app that syncs with Notion and answers one question each day: what do I need to engage with today? Keyboard-driven, local-first, and designed for calm over comprehensiveness.
NoteDrop
ReleasedFile notes in seconds, not minutes. A macOS menu bar app that lets legal practitioners create professional PDF file notes directly into their existing Finder-based matter folders—no navigation, no filing decisions, just drop a note and get back to work.
Maildrop
In Daily UsePick the matter, drag the email—it files correctly named, first time. A native macOS app that turns messages from Outlook, Apple Mail, or Finder into faithful PDFs, dropped straight into the right matter folder with automatic sequence numbering and no duplicates.
Certum Draft
In Daily UseDocuments without the grind. A native macOS app for Australian solicitors that generates letters, agreements and certificates from precedent templates in one click—with smart matter forms, conveyancing settlement adjustments and estate administration tracking. No copy-paste between Word documents, no find-and-replace before settlement.
