Background

Have had a number of years working as a commercial deckhand, primarily targeting Crayfish (New Zealand Red Rock Lobster) along the North and South Coast of Dunedin. At the end of last year, I decided that I wanted a change and embarked on an overseas trip that lasted 3 months around Europe. I arrived back in New Zealand early in 2024 and began studying for a Bachelor of Science at the University of Otago. Have finished my studies for the year and have a lot of spare time. I am keen to get stuck into something and meet some new people. Can get along with anyone and enjoy putting in the hours.
