Summary
I’m good young man to work with I communicate well with people I’m eager to learn new skill, I grew up on a family farm just out side of hokitika learning from my grandfather and farther I didn’t do well in school but I know the basics I was lucky enough to gain experience from older people willing to teach me things I didn’t know and I’m very grateful for it I enjoy working outdoor and operating machinery if I’m told to do something I’ll get it down.
