Paul Howard

In the 35 years of being in the trade I

have worked on a wide array of various projects from Decorative concrete driveways, pathways and full landscaping projects in the private sector, to being a part of a team on Large government projects such as Victorian Desalination Project, Regional Rail Upgrade and Level Crossing Removal Project's. I have also had contracts in the Local Government sector doing Concrete Footpath Re-instatement and have also done concrete works for the Country Fire Authority (CFA)

I have been surfing and fishing on and off for over 45 years, spending time IN the ocean surfing... and ON the ocean fishing, gives me a sense of freedom and  calmness.  Cricket is something that i have recently revisited after a 22 year hiatus, playing in the "Father/Son Team at Delacombe Park CC has given me a chance to play with my 2 teenage boys. The guitar is something that is never far away from my reach ... Playing music is one of the most satisfying things for me to do in my down time.

I have been a CFA Volunteer for the Frankston Fire Brigade for the past 16 Yrs. In that time i have progressed through from being a minimum skills Fire Fighter to having BA Search and Rescue, HAZMAT Awareness including wearing Gas suits and Splash Suits, Code 1 Driver, Wildfire Crew Leader and currently hold the position of 4th Lieutenant at Frankston Fire Brigade. Its a very satisfying to be able to help not just my own community but communities far and wide when the need arises.
