I consider myself a decent all rounder or "jack of all trades", i am always looking for the next qualification or experience i can gain, life is short and we must enjoy it as much as we can. After doing A Levels in 3D Design, Product Design & Photography I got a BA degree in photography as well as studying to be a PADI diving instructor. Whilst simultaneously running a commercial photography business and teaching people how to dive i joined the army reserves as a rifleman and then trained to be a fire fighter with Dorset and Wiltshire fire and rescue service. After also having a part time bar job in a brew pub and starting a level 2 NVQ in carpentry, i got married, had a baby, started a career at Work Wear Pro Direct and set up my own carpentry business called Woodshop51. I'm still on call 63 hours a week for the fire serviceI, i still dive from time to time, go skiing in the winter and do everything i can to provide for my amazing new family.
