Hello!
My friends know me as Richard.
Recently, I took early retirement. Throughout my career there has been an abundance of time to expand my knowledge and experience.
A seasoned traveler, comfort is found in forests and jungles, deserts and beaches, and remote or rural and metropolis regions. Each has their own attractiveness.
Having recently departed the daily grind, obtaining balance and harmony has become a focal point. Years of dedication have provided me means to travel comfortably, and volunteering became the naturally occurring succession.
I have proclivity toward accomplishments through meaningful activities, events and interactions. Each opportunity is an evolution to the continuing saga.
Among my various skills, I have experience with:
- DIY and residential construction, plumbing, electrical, renovation and remodeling
- concrete and ceramic tiling
- organic gardening, permaculture and composting.
- operating equipment including loaders, backhoes, chainsaws, tractors
- vehicle maintenance.
- hospitality, general maintenance, hosting
- entertainment sound systems
- photography, videography and drone operation/recording
- computer systems, wireless/WWAN-LAN/WiFi networks
- First Aid, CPR and Water Safety III qualified
- linear and analytical.Interests
