JOEL TARR

I love my job but the route I came to it wasn't ideal. In 2005 whilst studying media production at university my life turned upside down when I got food poisoning. It led to me developing chronic fatigue syndrome and perpetual nausea, all my life plans went out the window... I trod water for years in a boring retail job waiting to get better as I went from doctor to doctor looking for a cure. With only slight improvements I realized I had to create opportunities for myself...so In 2012 taught myself how to forge iron...
