PERSONAL PROFILE
Having worked as an offshore diver and currently working as crew in the renewables sectors I have gained high appraisal for the services I was able to offer.My previous learning and subsequent jobs have all laid a good foundation with which to become a successful diver. In previous jobs I have often been described as proactive, friendly and hardworking person who works extremely well in a team.
I believe I have a strong degree of self-confidence and get along very well with most people. As well as being confident, I am also a relaxed person,which I believe makes me very approachable and easy to get on with. My friends and colleagues normally perceive me as lively, fun to be with and good humoured. My high level of social skills allows me to integrate easily into most situations. The high standards I have for myself and work that I am involved in are always evident in the finished product.
I also consider myself to be extremely opened minded about most things, this makes it easy for me to respect and appreciate people that are different from me or who have a different view or ways of going about things. I've always believed diversity is a good thing and focused right can produce great things.

The outdoors is definitely where I feel most comfortable. I enjoy all manner of water sports, mainly sailing and swimming but have also come to really enjoy diving.
Photography is a big interest of mine. I take every opportunity to take my camera out and about with me.
I love riding motorbikes as well as restoring and repairing them. I enjoy the sense of freedom you have on a bike, unmatched by any other mode of transport.
Growing upI was involved in all manner of sports, mainly running, kayaking and football. I have taken part in all sorts of sporting events over the years, most notably the Bristol Half Marathon. As well as raising money for adults with learning disabilities, I completed a personal best time during this event in 1 hour and 21 minutes, (1st for my age group at 18 years old and 153rdout of 15,000 runners).
