As a Collision Reconstructionist, Gavin has developed extensive skills in 3D imaging techniques and has adopted these techniques to provide state of the art pre and post event security planning. These skills were put to work as the chief Hostile Vehicle Mitigation assessor for the 2018 Invictus Games held at Sydney Olympic Park and a number of other major projects across NSW.
