About

A little about me.

I’m Gareth, a 38 year old IT contractor, Photographer, Optimist, Blogger and Maker/Restorer of things.

I pretty much left school at 15.  I barely passed my exams and jumped straight into the world of work.  First doing some warehouse and groundwork.   moving on to Business Admin and IT services support.  Moving through working for a large bank in their online services section, looking after a team of people, doing a bit of support and coding. Currently working with in IT support services as a contractor, and a little photography to keep me going.

I’ve never really been ‘hands on’ in my work life, as it’s mostly been office based but i’m aiming to change that.

I’ve always been curious, always breaking things just to mend them.  Recently getting round to renovating my house from the ground up, having my first child, and finding my photography chops, it has really reignited my passion for understanding how to do things.

Trying to make my life as full as possible with learning experiences, and helping others along the way.

I am a huge advocate of working hard towards your goals, and this blog is a little of that journey.

I love cooking, making, restoring/upcycling boxes, doing fun stuff with my family, photography, giving myself skills and learning something new everyday.
