Summary

I am a reliable and dedicated worker in everything that I do. I take pride in ensuring jobs are completed on time and up to a high standard. I have done a bit of work alongside my brother with our neighbors on their farm. Doing things such as fencing and fertilising avocado orchards. I have also worked alongside another neighbour doing bailage and hay bales over a few weeks in summer time, over a couple of years. Furthermore I have done some planting with another neighbour, and I have eradicated some weeds using a scrub bar. Following I have also done some concrete work, pouring concrete using wheel barrows. These jobs were done in Tauranga, prior to us moving. Now I have moved with my family to Halcombe in the Manawatu, where I am looking to find a job that best suits me. Whether that be something outdoors, or engine related. I have shown an interest in engines, doing work on our motorbikes. Two Ag200's and a CRF250X. Oil changes, chain adjustments, tyre changes etc. I enjoy when there is something not quite right with an engine and trying to figure out what might be wrong with it, I don't like to give up. I really like driving too, seeing how a car goes and what an engine and transmission will do together, how it handles different situations is very interesting. From my CV I hope you can see that I am hard working and willing to learn new things. I hope that my hard work and driven personality to fully complete a job well will rub off on others.

Motorbiking, driving, mechanics, technology.

I love motorbiking, it's a nice escape for me, the feeling of the wind in my face is great. I have a couple of AG200's which I enjoy riding, they're not to fast, not to slow. Over the years I have learnt from YouTube about how to do some maintenance on the bikes. I do the oil changes and chain adjustments, etc. Doing the maintenance and then riding them is a great sense of satisfaction knowing I fixed them and we didn't have to take it to a shop. I also love driving, seeing what a car does in certain situations, how it sounds, how the suspension handles the road, it's all a great excitement for me. Like I said above it's always awesome knowing I've fixed something or at least attempted to. An engine is absolutely fascinating how it all works, it's so complex! One thing being not quite right can affect it completely, this can be cool to have to fiddle to fix it, but it can be a headache as well. Finally technology, technology has always been fascinating to me, how things work. What one TV can do can be different to another TV, plus how the speakers work, how they sound. Furthermore, phones and computers are also fascinating.
