Summary

I am a committed and loving member of my family while my natural nurturing ability helps in to develop a workplace team, into a highly co-operative and functioning group.

One of my major strengths is dedication to my work, organizing and balancing family responsibilities while valuing personal reliability and responsibility above all else.

I was lucky enough to have a loving, stable, family upbringing in my youth and from that platform I was able to achieve my dream of becoming an All Black. But that doesn’t mean I am naïve to the challenges that a certain number of people today are faced with when dealing with choices, mostly wrong choices, they may have acquired from a dysfunctional upbringing and/or other external influences.

Outside of work, I am a married father of three children, being greatly involved in both their sporting, career and outside involvements.

I am a genuine, honest, down to earth individual who can relate to people from all different circumstances and backgrounds, with my all-round friendly nature and ability to communicate effectively by listening intently and asking inquisitively.

I am an exceptionally quick learner and enjoy the challenge of being mentally or physically tested.
