About Me

A little about me...I'm the father of three boys - two teenagers and a six year old. One has ASD-2 and the other ADHD so I have a lot of experience with neurodiversity.I love anything to do with the water - surfing, fishing, swimming and even just floating. I believe being in the water is one of the most healing things you can do.I am fun and easy-going and people tell me I'm easy to talk to with a non-judgemental ear.I know a lot of support workers just take clients out for coffee but I want to reassure you that I am skilled at finding meaningful activities to do and we can come up with those together. I'm here to help you create the life that you aspire to and deserve.I understand everybody has good days and bad days and can't always do the planned activities so I will be flexible and work with you however you need. I look forward to meeting you and seeing if I am a good fit for you personally, and for your support needs.
