Summary

I have been involved in the construction industry for over 40 years with the last 28 years, a self employed builder. Over this time I have gained a wealth of knowledge in both domestic & commercial sides of the industry.

I have extensive experience in managing projects from inception to completion and adapting to changing project needs.

I am hard working, diligent & give 100% to all my projects.

In my spare time I enjoy keeping fit with walking & weight work outs, spending time with my family & the occasional ride on my Harley Davidson motor bike.
