Accomplishments
I was engaged in Golf Services in the area of outside range facilities, during which I fostered a friendly, helpful approach in dealing with members and staff at two private golf courses over the past ten years.
The work was seasonal in nature, involved outdoor physical labour and dealt exclusively with private golf club members.
Although I would have been open to rejoining the golf course this season, I have instead opted to work a less physical job where I am working inside and more reasonable work hours.
Interests
DIY and Home Improvement I am currently assisting my son with a major renovation at the home in which I grew up Tech enthusiast, passionate about exploring the latest advancements and innovations I have recently built two personal computers for use in my home music studio and for my home theatre I have a home music studio that I built and am a musician who has been involved with several part-time bands over the course of 30 years Enjoy participating in golf for overall physical and mental well-being I like working with my hands and fixing things
Musician
Prior to retiring I was a semi-professional bass player in an eight-piece rhythm and blues band that performed for corporate events, weddings and occasionally bars. I am also proficient on acoustic guitar and have fun on my synthesizer keyboard. During the off-season from the golf club I entertain myself with my small recording studio.
