Summary

I’m a fun guy who loves a laugh and a good chat. I’ve been working as a laborer and have hands-on experience in removals and gardening. Alongside that, I’ve worked in hospitality, retail, and fast food — cooking, cleaning, serving customers, handling cash, and even running shifts. I’m quick to pick things up, enjoy working with people, and always make sure the job gets done properly and on time.
