Summary

I am a versatile carpenter with 20+ years of experience working with timber.

From the forestry industry to the timber sawmill, and to the construction industry. And each industry has taught me communication skills, health and safety, how to be productive, and shown me repetition at its best. Also, it has given me insight into the length and size of timber the building industry requires. And when it comes to a new building project, I am fascinated when starting one, and very determined to finish it. Given that experience, I am dedicated to upskilling in the construction industry. To a point, that one day I have the confidence to venture out on my own.
