More details about your skills

I am a hard working Individual that excels at whatever I commit myself to.

Having owned a carpentry company for several years, I am great with maintenance and fabrication projects and am willing to contribute these skills where needed. I'm not shy to spend time helping with mundane tasks of cleaning or labour oriented work either. I am practical and hands on with building or creating and enjoy DIY (or Do It Together) projects. I also consider myself to have a green thumb and absolutely love spending time in the garden.

Im an avid fisherman, scuba diver, free diver and spear fisherman. I have introduced a few friends to the underwater world and love sharing my knowledge and passion around this.

I have an interest in foraging / harvesting food. I am continually learning about new regions and and expanding my knowledge and abilities. Moving between many different areas exposes me to a vast array of flavours and ingredients that keeps evolving my understanding and palate. I am happy to share what I know and help where ever possible.

Proficient in English, I am willing to share and teach to the best of my ability.

I guess my only prerequisite is that my energy is being put into a meaningful place.

Age

32

What else ...

Im interested in film photography and always have a camera nearby. The side of photography that captures me most is documentary style street photography. A fly on the wall approach of daily life as I wander from place to place. I love to photograph humans in their natural state.
