the owner of Mini Machines Direct.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy getting out on the water doing fishing and scuba diving. I also love being outdoors and travelling around with my family and our twin daughters.<\/p>\n<p>With 20 years of experience in heavy construction and mining machinery maintenance, I have the know-how in dealing with heavy duty machinery doing diagnosing, repairs, and rebuilding as a diesel fitter.<\/p>\n<p>Over those years I have worked at dealerships, quarries, mines and construction sites. With the help of my wife, I decided that after many years it was time to step out of the technician role and share my knowledge via being a business owner, which is why I started Mini Machines Direct Pty Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>I know and understand first hand that when quality components and parts are used, longevity can be achieved out of the machinery, and that reliable machinery can be the backbone of any earth moving business.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-143","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>About Mini Machines Direct | Who We Are<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Wanting to know more about Mini Machines Direct?
