I'm a keen Hunter and love to get outdoors walking the hills every opportunity I get. I am also a member of the deer stalker association which helps connect with other hunters in the Wairarapa region.
I enjoy Muay thai fight training as it gives me a sense of discipline and keeps my fitness levels up while learning how to defend myself.
I enjoy gaming when I have spare time I'll usually chill out and jump online with mates to de-stress, crack jokes and have a good time
I love travelling around to different locations sight seeing, photographing great memories, Camping.
Using the skills I have picked up over the few years in carpentry has given me a sense of purpose to help others that need work done or just make stuff myself for around home!
I also have a passion for writing! I could write for hours and just get lost in my own thoughts. writing to me helps me visualise my future!
