--- title: Information Centre | Business Guides & Resources | Trekk Advisory | Gavin Weller (3) description: "Gav is a Director of Trekk and operates from our Brisbane office - helping his client's in the advisory space in planning, strategy, structure, and taxation. He loves being able to work closely with both his clients and his team to help them achieve their goals. The best part of his job is that each new day is interesting, challenging and rewarding because of the great people he gets to work with. He is a massive fan of all sports and no doubt wishes he could have been a sports star or commentator. Unfortunately for him, he’s not good enough or impartial enough for either but he very much enjoys continuing to play soccer and tennis in the meantime. There's more to him than sports though... He loves music and going to gigs and theatre with his wife. Gav goes by the saying \"Life is short – enjoy and appreciate this moment\" and \"Back yourself – some days you kick and some days you get kicked – that’s rugby\". This metaphor for strength and resilience helps him get the best out of each day.
