Summary
An honest, reliable worker with a practical mindset and strong time management skills. I enjoy being part of a team but also work well independently. Always looking to learn new skills, solve problems, and see a job through to completion. My spare time is spent with my children and my passion for woodworking and lately laser engraving. I build custom wooden furniture and art using recycled materials, and have made strong relationships with people and small business owners around New Zealand through this
