About Me

I am a typical work hard / play hard person. I will be focused and serious about the work to be done and then after - love to have a laugh over a few beers and enjoy the company of who ever is around. I am into 4x4, pre history, partying in new places and generally love life and living it to the full.

Where I am available for work and when

Available for work - Travelling - not available
