On this weeks episode of made to measure we are joined by Australian Olympian and Commonwealth Gold Medallist: Damon Kelly.

Damon is one of the most humble, down to earth and genuine people I’ve ever met. Alongside all his athletic achievements Damon has worked for nearly 15 years as a quantity surveyor and estimator with international consultancies and Australian owner tier 2 and 3 construction main contractors. He is unique in that he has such a well rounded background in the world of construction costing from quantity surveying, cost planning and hard dollar estimating all whilst winning medals and breaking records for Australia in weightlifting.

I had the pleasure to sit down and discuss how Damon managed a life of athletics combined with the tiresome world of construction.

I really enjoyed this episode and Damon is a real ego busting person, one we can all learn from! To connect with Damon see link to his LinkedIn below.
