I am the General Manager for the successful Harcourts office in New Plymouth. I was raised on a dairy farm just north of Stratford and began my career in telecommunications before leaving to purchase a 300 cow dairy farm operation in the Manawatu with my brother. My wife and I have subsequently owned a rest home in New Plymouth and a large, North Taranaki Rural Mail contract. I joined the Real Estate industry in 1999 and hold a National Certificate in Real Estate, Branch Manager’s Certificate and National Diploma in Real Estate.
