Dear Nikki & Jason,

I got hooked on your content on the day you launched 11 Years Living Off-Grid On A Self-Built Island and then I went all the way back to you learning the ropes on your Leopard 43, and I've binge watched everything ever since.

I've picked up sailing thanks to you.

Start Here

I’ve cherrypicked some relevant / serious skills you should consider and then some to make you giggle.

I'm a RYA Dayskipper with catamaran training + night navigation miles under my belt.

I'm an architect. Of course I can design everything from jewelry to 600ft tall skyscrapers.

My last gig was a 4 year contract in Shanghai, China. A period when I dove deep into the south-east asian culture from Thailand, through Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines and all the way up to Tokyo.

I picked up photography 18 years ago. Stuck with me ever since.

I have newfound love for videography. S-Logs, Lav Mics and DaVinci Resolve (as you can "see") We're currently using Sony A7-4s in the office.

I think I can fly a drone.

I'm a web designer and a graphic designer.

Data management is my middle-name. Processes optimization is my jam.

I'm a PADI Advanced Open Water diver with 32-34 dives. The Advanced part after 10ish dives is laughable but I roll with it …

I'm a beginner free diver.

I love coffee in all it's shapes and forms. I do prefer a proper espresso but I'm not picky in the middle of nowhere.

I can make good beer so you can leave the pineapple for cocktails.

I can cook “basic” soups and salads and welcome a vegetarian diet whenever I get the chance.

Fun fact: I can go without food for at least 3 days if needed.

I'm handy with tools, wrenches, pipes, engines. I'm one search away from anything I don't know how to do. I've built / rebuilt most of the things in our homes.
