Happy Birthday to the main man here at Airtree; the man who somehow manages to turn just about every crazy idea I come up with into a reality.
I often joke that Scratcha is semi-retired⦠but if youāve ever been to Airtree, youāll know thatās far from the truth. Every project, every improvement and every āI was thinking ā¦ā usually ends with him figuring out a way to make stuff happen. There isnt much he canāt turn his hand to and figure out!
While heās great with tools and building things, itās the way he treats people that really stands out. When guests say how amazing the hosts were theyāre almost always talking about how Scratcha welcomed them and his little chats. He has a way of making everyone feel at home, and thatās something you canāt teach.
I also whinge about him coaching footy this year instead of us being on a Winter break but he loves it so much - any person who has ever had Scratcha for a coach knows, he always wants the teams to win, but more so he wants the people he coaches to improve their skills and to become great team people. He leads by example, earns their respect, and has a knack of bringing out the best in a team.
We wouldnāt have what we have today without him. So hereās to another year of putting up with my endless ideas, finding a way through every challenge, and getting s**t done.
Happy Birthday, Scratcha. Love from us all!
