About me
Born in Auckland. I am married with 2 young children and fortunate enough to be able to work with my wife and also share the responsibility of raising our kids.
I used to be what some would call a fitness fanatic racing bicycles competitively and competing in a few half Ironman events but now spend my spare time with our kids. I recently took up Kick Boxing to stay fit.
I was born to travel rather than work and constantly look forward to our next trip away whether it's to Nepal or Ohakune.
