Canadian Born, I came to Europe 5  years ago  to help my aging 96 year old father, then 91  who no longer requires my help.

Now I would like to Work as a Handyman in the Netherlands or somewhere else where the people speak english.

  “I love to work! And I will go almost anywhere

and can do just about anything ”

• Managed and improved production of many small businesses

• Estate Management of  fathers properties in Canada, The U.S., Austria and Hungary making sure the houses were allways clean for their arrival (when my mother was still alive), food in the fridge, grass cut  gardens  weeded (hired people to do these back breaking things) cars worked, rents collected and delivered to accountants. Also arranged legal things and was sent to different properties to handle problems for them  etc.

Functional summary:                 

Over the past 20 years I have successfully contributed to the profits of every organization I work with. As a result of dedicated efforts and astute business acumen, I have not only enabled myself to grow as a person, I have perfected the art of making things happen.  By due diligence and attention to detail

I can plan small events and make things interesting as I managed a singles club for a few years to help out a friend.

I used to be able to play chess with 12 people and win every game.  That was when I was 16.  I can’t do that anymore but still know how the pieces move.  I was also a driver for  a Lawyer in Canada and did it for a summer.  There is not much too it.  It is easy to do. I can sail a 44 ft. Star sail boat by myself and know how to handle myself  on a boat when the weather is not co-operating.  I tried to get my captains licence in Toronto with the Harbourmaster as my teacher.  I passed everything except trying to bring a “twin screw Yaught, parallel to the dock.  I just could not do it.    So you see, I can’t do everything but I can do many things.

I am looking for some work in the netherlands or elsewhere if it is interesting and in English.   In Canada I was making 75-125.00/hr as a handyman, but I had a truck that has ever single type of screw and hardware in it, so when I showed up at a customer’s house, I could fix most things on the spot. I can put a professional tool room together for you in your house  so that most things can be done there.

I am also tech savvy and if your are having problems with your computer, I can make the right suggestions to make it better for you.  Most people suffer in front of theirs but it does not have to be so.  But please understand that I can only do most of these things in English.  I could never fix anything of French Windows on a French computer.

Some pictures of me when I was younger.  I don't think this is so important but .... I guess everyone wants to know what toya you had and where you came from.  My herritage  started in Bohemia in 1411 and I am related to the Leichtenburg and Pletl clans 

A long time ago I used to have a motor bike.  So I can drive most of them.

I love the outdoors, love to make camp fires and this is me collecting wood.  i can also handle a chain saw and know how to drop a tree.

I love Halloween and getting dressed up.  Before the Pirate of the Caribbean movies I came up with this.  No one knew who I was.  it was fantastic.

This is me 10 years ago puting up tile.

I helped out the Hungarian police doing English Hungarian Translation

And I know a guy in France who does English and French translations for a reasonable plrice.

Elis web linke here

This is me fixing a Gate in Toronto and then preparing to fix a crack in the customers driveway

I think I was 43 here  and here I was 30, sailing with a co-worker in his ketch

Doing some simple gradening, I actually know how to plant things

My cousin was an oscar winner in Hungary and every time I came to visit him, they put me in his films.

It was nice when I had to learn my lines and it was also fun being in the promo picture with the other famous actors

I gave my time freely  to help others in construction and this was the group I was assigned to  help

Designers hired me and told me  to make it with out much of a plan, because they knew it would look great when it was finished.  I said I could modify the pergola and replace the wood with a new type of plastic and she said: Go ahead,,,

My truck in Canada and the back of the truck .  I can also do simple graphics for you fast if you give be the text you want. 

Cutting the plastic wood and measuring before the cut.  i will not be able to bring these tools as they are too heavy.  So if you want to make some nice things, you will have to buy some tools. Or Hire other people who have them.

This was a picture before my famous cosuin died.  He was an Oscar winner.  He was on the far left

Here riding a bike I designed and had built.  I did most of the electronics

And me dressed up a little

If you can give me a perminent place to work.  I can bring some 18 v power tools.  I have a good table saw and a compound mitre saw which will blow your mind and a whole bunch of hand tools sanders  drills etc. at my dads place in Hungary.  I am the guy who will do all those little things that no one is interested in doing.  I sqeeky door,  broken tile, a stone out of place are just some of the things I can do for you.  Just send me pictures of the things you need to have fixed  on my skype address at HungarianHandyman  .
