Description
I am a carpenter/ builder/ musician based in the UK. I started out as a sound engineer working in London and LA in the 90's and after graduating in English moved gradually into construction. I have spent many years designing and building timber framed and other structures. Since I was a teenager I have played guitar in a band & have travelled and recorded extensively, I enjoy competitive dinghy racing all year round in the UK. I am interested in learning about olive cultivation and am considering relocating to Crete to do this. I would like to help with the olive harvest and to learn the process of organic olive growing. I am a father to five girls who are growing up fast and beginning to make their way in the world. Lottie is the eldest of these and after studying biomedical science for six years has changed course and will soon qualify as an accoutnant. Over the years we have worked together on my construction projects and we make a great team.
