I started my career in construction as an electrical apprentice at the age of 20. Two years later I went off on my own and took on my first house refurbishment project where I learnt a great deal about other trades. I have a great desire to know how things work, and this lead me to hone many different skills over a variety of projects. I am still a qualified and registered electrician, but over the last 12 years years I've expanded my expertise to include plumbing, carpentry and general building. My work has covered a broad spectrum of projects from commercial electrical work in large server rooms, to building a bespoke outdoor bar at Yellow Wave in Brighton.
Before I was due to go to University I got a job helping a carpenter for the summer, but as it turned out, I found my calling and decided to start a carpentry apprenticeship instead. I completed my training and went on to work for a company specialising in oak timber framing, barn conversions and restoration of historic buildings. A couple of years later, I realised I had an itch to scratch and I changed my course to serve my country. I had the great honour to serve as a Royal Marines Commando for seven years, completing an operational tour in Afghanistan. After this I returned to the construction world, working as an on-the-tools Project manager for a construction company in West Sussex. I have gained much, varied experience in both the construction world and my military career, and enjoy bringing it all together to complete a project successfully.
