Fishing (I have my own boat) and walking my dog

My absolute favourite past time is fishing for snapper either off the rocks or out at sea. Having recently purchased my very first boat I am loving the work/life balance. When I'm not working I'm out on the water.


I have a beautiful purebred Shar Pei dog, my best buddy, we love our daily walks before and after work.


If and when I have extra free time I love designing and building outdoor furniture for my personal use.
