Overview
About Me
Enjoying my time on earth, seeking the unimaginable.
Current job gas engineer
Mechanical Engineer after redundancy I felt like a change for a while and am now working with Disabled Children aged 4 to 20, it's another increasable word they see.
Set up an Organic Coffee Company (BeanBros) with two incredible friends, with the Dream to own our own farm where we could help homeless and addicts, get them into Eating and Moving healthy and giving them a set of skills / a new way of life. we were in the process of renovating a hours box to sell coffee from when unfortunately due to several reasons it failed. The Dream lives on.
