Having grown up on a farm, I have had many opportunities to obtain skills and experience in many different areas.
I ride dirt-bikes and often take our race buggy out for a spin in the bush.
I also enjoy boating and fishing, I have my boat license and often take our tinny out on the lake. I would easily have thousands of hours of experience (solo) throughout all conditions
This also allows me opportunity to fault find and to carry out general maintenance tasks (such as oil changes).
I have had a strong interest to become a boiler maker when I first started working on restoration projects of tinny's (during Covid).
I intend to complete Year 10 at Charlton Christian at the end of 2024 and am seeking an apprenticeship in the industry.
