History

Born Sydney, growing up on the northern beaches until my early 20's I was always a sporty outgoing kid playing many different sports and competing in a few be it soccer, tennis or athletics. I have always been competitive by nature even in work to better myself more than others. Most of my 20's was either working to travel or traveling as my main focus to experience as much as possible. Traveling to 30+ countries and living in 2 and hope for more I have gained priceless experiences in turn be wisdom through those adventures and people met along the way. Living in the UK and traveling all around Europe into Asia, working multitude of jobs throughout, into working in different locations around Australia. Moving to Canada to be able to travel America and go to burning man was a standout I will always remember, to embrace these methods and ways of life, I come from that trip more wholesome and contempt. Living and working on my family farm renovating 2 houses on the property and creating a warm home with all recycled materials was a turning point for where I wanted to direct my attention and ambitions. Currently working for Thredbo doing carpentry projects around the hotel and restaurants, being diverse and interesting, being social with a great lifestyle to follow, into the summer I plan to do more personal projects near family up north and work on a project with a builder in mid north Queensland into Japan where I hope to grow even more into this direction of work.

Communication Skills

My communication skills are sound, satirical, sarcastic at times but always professional when needed, I never want to take life too seriously but strive to deliver with excellence. I have no quarrel speaking to a group or even a crowd of people if I feel I'm on the right page. I believe in listening first to speak fairly.
