Although Lewis has only recently completed his apprenticeship in cabinetmaking, his career pathway has already afforded him a huge and diverse range of experiences. Most notably, Lewis has succeeded at WorldSkills competitions, taking out the gold medal on the national stage, and representing Australia in his skill at international level where he was recognised with a Medallion for Excellence. His commitment to excellence has led him to complete countless hours of voluntary extra training pushing himself to be the best at his craft. Growing up in the small town of Wokalup, Lewis enjoyed woodwork at school and found his ambitions shifting from the family farm to a career working in timber. His passion has since taken him to France and Japan and he now plans to further extend his skills with a qualification in carpentry.
