Description
In 2011 I completed a three year trade program in Carpentry and Joinery. I have worked in and around the industry since.

My primary skill set is within Carpentry & Joinery, over the years I have complete, plumbing, electrics. plaster repair and painting/decorating work. On both residential and commercial properties. I have helped with projects in France, Spain, Scotland, England, the U.S.A, Canada and Kenya.

I have worked with a non profit in the San Juan Islands since 2007, it is a summer camp for children aged 8 - 16. I have worked in a variety of roles here.

You can see me online portfolio here - www.markpetermedia.com/carpentryandjoinery
I am also happy to send you a resume if you provide an email address.

I'm looking for hot water, a personal space to sleep and internet for knowledge.
