There are many moments (and sleepless nights) in my painting and business life that I’ll never forget, as I’m sure there are for you.

I’ll never forget working my butt off in my Dad’s painting business as a teen, trying with every ounce of sweat I had to create some sort of financial freedom for myself. Being an ‘off-the-boat’ Greek, Dad built his business here in Australia from the ground up. No hand-outs, just good ol’ elbow grease.

I’m sure you can relate to this type of hard work being a tradie yourself. The next thing I never forgot about in my life was asking my Dad for a job in the family painting business and he said NO! I was completely shocked.
