Summary

I'm a freshly qualified carpenter who takes real pride in delivering quality workmanship. Hard-working and detail-oriented, I enjoy solving problems and bringing practical, creative solutions to every job. My enthusiasm for the trade shines through in everything I do — whether it's framing, finishing, or working with clients and crew. I’m also a natural morale builder, always ready with a good attitude, and a hand to help. I get along with everyone and believe in building not just great structures, but strong team dynamics, too.
