  • Description

    Hey there!
    I'm looking to do more in this world while exploring, learning and making new connections. I'm new to this. I've gone straight from high school, to work, to college, to family man with kids. It's been good but looking to explore alternative ways of seeing the world, and having some unique experiences.
    Some with my family and some solo. I have rarely had the opportunity to explore on my own. So work away experiences and travel on my own in general is something I need to get used to and ready to jump in.
    I'm also eager to get involved and contribute more to this world in terms of humanitarian work, housing, conservation and sustainability.
    My professional background is in architecture and the building industry. With some hands on experience prior to college. Including framing/carpentry, landscape design.construction, plumbing, roofing, renovations and other handy skills. I went to school for architecture for a few years with a focus in sustainability and have always wanted to contribute to homelessness and equitable housing/communities. I'm inspired by ideas and ambition and like to problem solve and get creative in a collaborative environment.
    I also want to add on to my skills and hopefully do that through hands on experience via workaway opportunities.
    I'm a loving dad of two kids so I'm good with kids. That also comes with patience and energy. I'm also and empathetic person that likes to help others feel good, or at least ease burden. Also love dogs and good with animals. Very friendly and love to share ideas. And help where I can even if that means I have to quickly learn a new skill.
