Personal Information

I think i am a well rounded individual with real enthusiasm for life. I am a busy dad of 2, living in Llandrindod with my partner in a house we are currently renovating. In my spare time i enjoy spending time with my family, playing the odd game of football for my hometown team, walks with the dog and going on family holidays. 

I have recently finished my level 2 NVQ in carpentry with Coleg Powys and looking to seek new ways to expand my knowledge and career. 

I hold a full clean UK driving license with 10 years experience.
