About
I am a diverse, humble, quiet, confident person with a family orientated mindset. I have always looked to God to provide me with the strength to persue difficult situations with integrity and honesty. I'm self-taught, highly driven and very confident within these numerous fields including: 15+ Years in and around the motor trade from being a general mechanic or a driver to being a sales executive in a personal and a franchise environment.
I also have equally developed skills in and around the kitchen which includes: 10 Years as a self-taught chef, pastry chef, equipment specialist and kitchen manager. I truly believe that I have had the opportunity to have a carrier and to follow my passions in my life.
