Hi there

A little about myself.

I've lived in Australia now for approximately 15 years. Married with two kids(who are now young adults).

Previously, in New Zealand, I was in the plumbing industry for approximately 20+ years. I came over following plans to go into the trade here, but plans changed, so I entered the mining industry and haven't looked back.

Underground then went into Surface Mining. I'm an easy, outgoing person.

I respect the people I work with and the equipment used.

I'm loyal, and if looked after, I prefer to stay.

I enjoy social interaction, to an extent mind you, and get on well with pretty much everyone I've met.

Thanks and looked forward to hearing from you.
