Summary
I have been a quality-focused carpenter in recent years who started his career with a technology management degree. After some time in a factory working with production lines, I followed a desire to work with my hands while being closer to more natural materials like wood. I have always had an attraction to nature and everything that grows around us. When I moved to Nelson I started growing veg hydroponically and created a small automated greenhouse, I found so much joy in this that I have decided to pursue a career in this industry.
