About Me
I am a 23-year-old carpenter who has called both Australia and New Zealand home. Growing up I lived and thrived being on and around the ocean, operating many outboard powered fishing vessels all the way up to 10m from a very young age. I have always had a passion for the great outdoors and being out on the water, and this passion has led me to pursue a new career on board super yachts.
I have been a Carpenter for seven years, building and renovating high end homes in Queensland where I learnt skills such as Varnishing/Timber work, painting, welding and use of harnesses for working at heights. This line of work requires you to have a Keen eye for detail, work well as part of a team and the ability to think quickly on your feet. These are attributes that I believe make me a very suitable candidate for the yachting industry.
