Hobbies and Interests

A passionate team player and community supporter. I play for the Ngaruawahia Over-35s soccer team and regularly attend my adult children’s hockey matches at the Gallagher Turf. I enjoy hands-on DIY projects—recently completing a backyard deck and pergola—and love summer camping trips with friends and family in the Coromandel. These activities reflect my values of teamwork, perseverance, and balance.
