Born in New Plymouth, my parents drew a ballot farm at Rerewhakaitu in the Rotorua area in 1953. After several years in farming, I joined a concrete company called Firth Industries and stayed with them for 37 years. My journey with Firth took me in management roles from Rotorua to Taupo, Hamilton, Pukekohe, Auckland and finally to the Hinuera Natural Stone quarry at Matamata. In 2007 the Hinuera quarry was sold to private owners and I became surplus to their requirements. I then decided that I would study and gain my Real Estate License. I joined Century 21 in Cambridge and then moved to the Matamata office until it closed in May 2012. In June 2012, I joined the team at Harcourts in Matamata. My passion is spending as much time as possible with my family and grandchildren, I have been married to my wife Janice for 46 years and we have two children, Our son Jaime and his wife Laura and son Fionn live in Ireland Our daughter Jodi and her partner Lindsay and children Hannah & James live in Ruakaka. Having a son living in Ireland it gives us a great excuse to travel overseas. During my lifetime I have met and worked with many wonderful people. I have a very strong work ethic and values, and look forward to selling your property and to keeping you informed along the way so you can achieve your dreams.
