  • Description

    I am presently in Hawaii after returning from sailing throughout all the South Pacific Islands over the past 2 years from Panama to Vanuatu. My intention is to return to the Mainland U.S. within the next month or so.

    Though I was born on Long Island N.Y., went to boarding school in Massachusetts and Law School in Southern California; I have travelled & lived abroad since 2000.

    During my travels I quickly learned that by competently adding value I would always be welcome anywhere and that Trade Skills were universally in high demand ... particularly the ability to build, improve and fix all manner of things.

    I am a professional, neat/organized, well mannered, gregarious by nature, easy to get along with and I instinctively make the effort to fix and improve things.

    Essentially I work with my brains and my hands equally well. My skills are all at a professional level of competence: both in the business/office environment or in the trade skill area, in which I am a trained & certified Red Seal Journeyman Carpenter with full electrical, plumbing, mechanical skills and equipment/engine diagnostic and repair.

    I am self-directed, instinctively work at cleaning & fixing all manner of things and take pride in my work product and skills ... I do not "hang out" or remain idle when there is something more productive that I can do.

    Over the past 20 years I have explored many countries living and working with the local people. Initially I use the work exchange organizations as an initial means of making local contacts in places I have never been to before.

    Finally I am middle aged, very physically fit (no ailments, allergies or any other medical conditions) and I do not use drugs nor do I get drunk.

    I am uncertain what else to incorporate in this “Profile" (and I fully recognize that "self-promotion is not my forte).

    Please feel free to send me an email at levittalfred@gmail.com should you be interested in working together. My cell number is 808-404-5355 but texting is easier because I frequently leave it off while busy or working.

    Best regards,

    Alfred Levitt
