  • Description

    Hi :D.

    I am an easy going, down to earth person that enjoy new experiences and getting to know people. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty and doing some hard work that breaks a sweat. I appreciate direct, honest, and kind people. I place a lot of value in learning and sharing knowledge.

    I can help with the following:

    1. Farming (vegetable or live stock) - I was born and raised on farm where we grew and raised food for the industry and our table.
    2. Carpentry, Plumbing, Building (basic) - I can use various power tools and a small part of my brain.
    3. Education - I have taught English and science to kids and adults (4 years experience).
    4. Hosting and waitering in the food industry.
    5. Animal care
    6. Cooking
    7. Mycology - I owned and ran a small successful mushroom business growing and selling gourmet and medicinal mushrooms.

    My definition of success is creating an environment that allows myself and others to gain confidence in their capabilities. So that we all can grow and create an improved world.
