Summary

I was brought up on a farm, grew up in Westport and attended buller high school and got all my NCEA levels. I wanted to follow my passion which was evident that I wanted to pursue a trade involving building. My parents always told me once you get a trade you can go anywhere in the world! And come straight back to your trade to full back on.


My other interests are hunting, working out at the gym. Fishing and mountain biking.
