  Description

  I'm a happy, diplomatic, liberal minded and free spirited kind of guy. I enjoy the outdoors and the environment, animals and people.
  
  I grew up in a small capital city named Hobart in Tasmania, Australia.
  I feel deeply about human rights and protection from cruelty to animals.
  
  My aim is to experience as many different cultures as I can, meet new and wonderful people and travel to as many countries as possible.
  
  I have a strong desire to help and be part of a cause that has purpose and meaning. For example, assisting with the homeless or those less fortunate than myself, helping groups working with abandoned animals or repairing/constructing buildings affected by natural disasters.
  
  I've no set agenda, timetable or travel plans. Just simply go where my hearts takes me.

  What skills do you have?

  I specialise in Procurement, Customer Service and Account Management and I but can do most things a 'handyman' can do.
  I'm pretty good at doing odd jobs and can carry out building repairs and maintenance. I have experience in plumbing, painting, plastering and building. I can use all power and hand tools as well as operate small plant and equipment.
  I have recently completed rebuilding an old house in Tasmania, Australia. Pretty much from the the ground up.
  
  I am a qualified canine psychologist and trainer and love working and being around dogs.

  What else ...

  I come from a very large family with plenty of nieces and nephews. Even grand nieces and nephews. I have cared for my nieces and nephews on many occasions and consider myself very good with children.
  
  Whilst living in Tasmania I was involved in a community support project that assisted disenfranchised youths called 'U Turn' which is run by Mission Australia. I have also spent some time as a teachers aid.
  
  I have skills and experience in leading groups of people, planing and organisation.
  
  I love animals and am especially good with dogs.
