About Me
Originally from Ireland, I have worked, lived and traveled across South East Asia, Europe and Australia. In that time I have had some of the most incredible experiences I could only have dreamed of growing up in a small suburb in Ireland. While I'm not traveling and working, I'm usually at the cinema or sat on a beach reading a book. And whenever possible, I try to get under water, doing some scuba diving.
i'm pretty much an easy going, laid back guy. i love sharing stories and trading jokes with people, over a beer or a deck of cards, or while sat waiting for a bus somewhere cool. And when I'm on a job, I'm hardworking and fast learning and get on great with pretty much any customer.
