Travis Maher
Service Manager
Greetings! I’m thrilled to share a glimpse of who I am with you. Professionally, I find immense satisfaction in my role where I collaborate closely with our dedicated service technicians. My main objective is to ensure that every job we undertake operates seamlessly and with optimal efficiency. This is where my passion for effective teamwork and problem-solving truly comes to life.
When I’m not immersed in the world of work, you can find me enthusiastically cheering for my favourite football team, Carlton, or indulging in other sports like basketball, cricket, and golf. The excitement of water skiing during the summer months adds a refreshing dash of adventure to my life.
My academic journey has led me to achieve a Cert IV in Management, equipping me with essential skills to navigate the intricacies of the professional realm. Additionally, my Cert IV in Motor Control (Electrotechnology) reflects my commitment to expanding my knowledge base and staying at the forefront of my field.
Outside of work and sports, my heart is shared with my wonderful wife and two kids. They share my enthusiasm for sports, making our family dynamic a lively blend of competition and camaraderie. As we continue to celebrate our shared interests, my personal and professional worlds merge, creating a fulfilling and balanced life journey.
