CURRENT MISSION
To see the trees of the world.

ABOUT ME
Easily excited. Potentially easily bored too.

Always hungry. Never fat.

Like dogs. Love cats more.

Love the outdoors. The interiors are pretty fantastic too.

Loveable (I hope). Love others (who are not psycho and/or creepy)

WORK
I am an arborist.
What is an arborist might you ask? We are also known as tree doctors. My job is to ensure urban trees are healthy and brings benefits to EVERYONE. I've seen big and small trees of all sorts and it brings a different angle to life with everything I do.

If you hang around with me you WILL get some sort of conversation with me about trees. Its just my passion.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a tendency to gravitate towards pretty natural things. Therefore I am also silently protective of such natural wonders.

I do believe in a dude called Jesus who is an awesomely amazing chap. He would be the number one guy who I want a beer with. For sure.

Studio Ghibli is a big favorite.
