A little about me:

After studying HND Rural Resources & their Management at Seale-Hayne College in Devon I worked on short contracts for the National Trust and English Nature in Dorset before setting up my own business in the Devon’s Teign Valley undertaking landscaping, conservation and farming tasks & managing a farm.

Towards the end of this period I studied for a Design & Technology Education Degree at the University of Exeter & taught for 10 years.  This came to an end in summer 2008 when I realised that I really wanted to go back to working outdoors.

I am able to offer a wide range of services related to the outdoors and outdoor living.  I have a naturally practical approach that means am able to overcome most problems encountered when working with wood, stone or metal.

I have worked on many old buildings and can also offer general construction, especially in stone and wood.

I have been woodturning using native hardwoods for many years & examples of my work will be found at the link above.
