Hobbies and Interests
When I am not working family comes first. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my wife and three kids. From bush walks to beach swims, snowboarding to exploring the inner beauty Wellington has to offer, we relish any opportunity and chance we get to spend time as a family. Currently studying Te Reo Maori, my ambition is to be completely fluent within the next ten years.
