Summary

I completed my Certificate III Carpentry & Joinery apprenticeship straight out of high school & continued working in this field for a number of years after

I then changed my profession to enter into the insurance restoration industry where I worked for over 7 years completing a number of various tasks from water & fire damage restoration to over seeing large loss claims & completing onsite assessments to report to insurance providers best ways to proceed with claims

I’ve since returned to the building industry where I am now a Trade supervisor & working hands on completing a wide variety of home maintenance repairs where I manage a small maintenance team & complete site visits & quotes as part of my daily tasks
