I became interested in how things are made from a very early age. I took apart clocks at the age of 7, and continued throughout my childhood making all manner of grand constructions and inventions.<\/p>\n

While studying Architecture (1988-1994) I began building in earnest, labouring and then working as a carpenters hand during my student holidays and have developed my building skills over the last 20 years.<\/p>\n

I worked as an architect for 6 years. I completed a Masters Degree in Environmental Development in 2002, and worked in environmental government programs for over a decade.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I enjoy that my work now combines the skills and passions I have developed through my life which are: helping people, doing things properly and professionally, and working with my hands.<\/p>\n

In addition to rock climbing, sailing and mountain biking, one of my favourite hobbies is photography.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
