Michael Williams

New Zealand/Australia

Summary

I am an artistic, visual, super creative and logistically minded individual. Well spoken, well travelled and self motivated in seeking new skills that allow me to adapt to new environments. A problem solver who can work solo or as a group, and a leader who can also fall back and play the required position to benefit the flow of the operation. Someone who you can trust to get things done, and who is

strong and fit with a good sense of humour and positive outlook on life.
