Summary

I have been working since the age of fourteen while continuing my studies both at high school and college. I have found to be most comfortable when my role involved manual skills and dexterity. Over many years, my father and I rebuilt our four hundred year old house which taught me numerous new skills. I have used this knowledge on other projects since. I feel I am able to tackle problems logically and work through solutions.

In my spare time I enjoy recreational scuba diving both in the UK and overseas. So far I have attainted Advanced Open Water and Nitrox.
