I have 25 years experience in retail selling and customer service having owned 5 communication shops across the north island employing 42 staff. I have lived in New Plymouth since I was 6 years old going to school at St Joseph's primary school and Francis Douglas college.In the sporting field I have represented Taranaki at all levels of football (soccer) being first capped for Taranaki seniors at 15 and played in central league for 12 years. I was a Taranaki junior archery champ, javelin champ I have even won a YoYo competition. I love all kinds of sport.I have built two houses myself and renovated three, I have also bought and sold 11 personal houses over the years. I have a very good appreciation of the processes and stresses that are involved in house purchasing and selling.It is my aim to reduce if not eliminate that stress and with a bit of luck even make the process enjoyable.
