About

Reformed failure who is practising the art of perpetual failure so that he might one day succeed. A late comer to the world of academia, Colin has owned and operated many service-related businesses. In the early eighties, Colin gained a trade qualification working as a Diesel Fitter. During the late eighties a move into the financial investments sector provided another outlet for Colin's passion of helping people. This was followed by his development of the VIP Home Services franchise group throughout Tasmania. Along the way, experiencing many ups and downs, Colin also created and took to market a unique educational product, imported tractors for resale and worked as a business consultant in a diverse range of industries. A graduate of the University of Tasmania, Colin now coordinates the Entrepreneurship major, continually striving to provide an authentic educational experience for his students. Colin also teaches into the Graduate Certificate of Commercialisation.
