Grayson Hinrichs

Summary

After 5 years as a professional, competitive surfer, I have chosen to step away from competition and am now pursing a more stable career path. After much thought, I have chosen to pursue a career as an electrician. The electrical trade captures my interest due to the breadth of learning opportunities, post qualification options and job mobility. I am hardworking and passionate and currently seeking to secure a 1st year electrical apprenticeship position.
