Hi, I'm Damian the Baker, operations manager for Hungry Hamish and Hamish's support worker (and he's my best mate). I was born in Palmerston North and have lived locally most of my life.

I'm a qualified Baker and have been in the trade now for 30 years holding nearly every position from cleaner to advisor in a plethora of bakeries with different ranges and styles.

About 3 years ago I felt it was time for a change and had a desire to work with people with disabilities. Christina and Hamish approached me at church and shared Hamishs vision for a bakery and asked if I knew of anyone who would be interested in helping him. After a short time of reflection and prayer, I knew exactly who would love the opportunity. Me.

Outside of work I stay busy by serving in my church, study online trading and hitting the gym. I've competed in body building competitions across the north island over the past decade. Weight training has a been a constant in my life since leaving high school. I like pushing my limits and it's a great way to relieve stress and hit personal goals.

Helping Hamish achieve his dream is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. We have an incredible workplace filled with a great energy and happiness. We laugh a lot at work and Hamish is an awesome Boss!
