Summary

I am a senior Carpenter who has spent the last 7 years within the construction industry across many different residential housing projects, including new builds, high end renovations and general maintenance work. Armed with a strong work ethic and a passion for construction, I have a proven track record of highquality work, and ensuring that the job is done right and to the customers' requirements.


Earlier in my career I worked for an international money transfer start up for 4 years. This early experience has been invaluable in teaching me customer service skills, managing time sensitive priorities, and the importance of managing relationships in a corporate environment. This exposure to the customer facing financial sector has improved my interpersonal communications skills immensely, and in turn a better, well-rounded Carpenter.

Custom

I am a big sports enthusiast and love the outdoors. In Winter I love getting up the mountain and snowboarding. I also enjoy outdoor activities such as tramping fishing and golf. I play for the local Naenae first team football club. During the summer period, I play cricket for the Taita reserve squad. If I'm not up the mountain I spend my weekend on or around the sports field either playing or helping where or whenever possible.
