About Me

Personal Statement

I like to roll up my sleeves and get stuck into the job at hand. With over 25 years of experience across manufacturing, warehousing, retail, and small business ownership, I bring a practical, proactive approach to everything I do.

I am 42 years old, a proud husband and father to a large, close-knit family based in Waharoa.

Technology & Networking

I am passionate about connections, whether physical or digital. I enjoy learning how things work—from complex networking setups to industrial control systems.

Family & Community

Family is my core, and I love spending time outdoors with my wife and kids. I also serve on the Board of Trustees at Matamata Primary School and my wife is a member of the PTA. Our kids are involved in sports and we help support the clubs by going to do vulenteering work for fundraising.

Lifelong Learning

I believe learning never stops. Whether it is diving into emerging tech for my IT Diploma or reading about innovations, I actively seek opportunities to grow.

Outdoors & Hands-on Projects

Growing up in Opotiki gave me a deep appreciation for the outdoors. I enjoy practical jobs, from home repairs to solving technical challenges.
