Your Handy Hero

As I grew up, my father's wide range of talents and skills inspired me. He worked as a maintenance mechanic, gas fitter, and carpenter, among other roles. His adeptness in home repairs, coupled with his experience as a millwright and gas fitter, ignited my curiosity and passion for fixing things. I spent numerous hours with him on various projects, absorbing his knowledge and practical skills. This foundation not only enhanced my abilities but also fostered a deep appreciation for the joy of problem-solving, craftsmanship, and completing tasks well.

By the time I was ten, I would ride my bike around the small town where I grew up, mowing grass or shovelling snow for those who were too busy to do it themselves. With the money I made, I invested in and improved my tools, and my little business thrived. As I matured, more and more people began to ask for my help with repairs, further igniting my enthusiasm for fixing things, building, and solving problems.

Today, I take pride in sharing the invaluable lessons I've gained. It's been a fulfilling journey as I honour my late father’s teachings while contributing to my community, one repair at a time.
