Summary

Motivated, reliable and creative mechanic/technician/craftsman with exceptional attention to detail, problem solving and diagnostic ability.

Having a wide variety of skills from the industries I have worked in, my own business and life in general.

In past roles I have had extensive experience in mechanics, plant operation and maintenance of different kinds, experience with pneumatics, hydraulics, welding, race car fabrication, abrasive blasting, high pressure cleaning processes and many mechanical systems. Trained in confined space entry, working at heights, elevated work platform, and fire warden, also completed extensive OHS and first aid certifications.

With a passion for learning and perfecting new skills in all areas of industry. As an owner builder I have a solid knowledge of many components of construction from site preparation, foundations, all the way through to plumbing, electrical and cabinetry. Living remotely on land, I've also developed the skills necessary to be self sufficient in all areas of land management and construction.
