About Dan

“I’m high-energy with bold ideas, and a stubborn belief that construction doesn’t have to be stuck in the past – and I tackle projects the same way I tackle gym workouts – to win!”

Dan is the Managing Director of BPM Ltd with 19+ years' experience leading complex construction and property projects across New Zealand. He specialises in project leadership, strategic planning, and client-side representation — from schools and public infrastructure to large-scale commercial builds. Recent highlights include major ongoing developments like the Miramar Golf Club upgrade and food processing facility for Farmland Foods. He’s passionate about transforming construction workflows, an initiative aimed at improving wellbeing in the industry.

Dan’s key strengths are strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, feasibility analysis, and assembling high-performing project teams. He brings a commercial mindset, sharp financial acumen, and deep sector knowledge — always focused on value, clarity, and delivery.

When it comes to career highlights, Dan puts it simply:

Professionally – Dan has driven BPM’s journey from its inception to becoming a nationally respected, award-winning, multi-disciplinary project management firm, delivering high-impact projects across New Zealand.

Personally – A lifelong athlete, Dan has competed at a professional level in multiple sports, including Muay Thai, football, CrossFit, and Hyrox.

“I’m big on discipline, straight talk, and keeping things moving — whether I’m leading a project team, prepping for an event, or helping my kids with their Muay Thai combos. My approach is grounded in three things: health, wealth, and relationships.”

Outside of work, Dan thrives on challenge and anything that breeds resilience. He’s a fan of mental toughness, reads like Relentless and Winning by Tim Grover, and both of David Goggins’ books, Can’t Hurt Me and Never Finished. His playlist ranges from “anything and everything” to a steady stream of podcasts. When it’s movie time, you’ll find him rewatching Rocky (minus #5), the Die Hard franchise, The Godfather series, Dumb and Dumber, or classics from the '80s and '90s. A committed advocate of the 75 Hard programme, Dan lives what he preaches!
