Summary
I grew up on a farm in Mareeba and have been very hard working from a young age, helping out after school and on holidays with all chores and tasks that running a farm requires. I have always had great interest in the electrical field and how it all worked. I began my apprenticeship shortly after I finished school in 2011 and never looked back, I have now been in the industry for over 12 years and have been lucky enough to try many different fields of the trade that my work history will show. When I'm not at work I enjoy working out at the gym as health and fitness are quite important to me. I also love camping, exploring and 4X4ing with mates or relaxing on the couch watching sport and cheering on my favourite teams and athletes.
