I have a diverse upbringing and gained experience in many different fields of life in my 32 years. I'm a father of 2 young sons that grew up in the outdoors of Southland as a sports fanatic. I started an early working life which has been on farms, the freezing works, a qualified builder, a concrete placer, and for nearly the last decade, a gym owner and lead coach. I have spent time travelling the world and developed a good sense of culture and identity. I am someone who is constantly looking for challenges and to upskill myself.
