I was born, bred and educated in Te Aroha.I lived on a farm with my parents, 5 brothers and 3 sisters.On leaving school I spent 10 years working in the Wairarapa, contract shearing and Fencing.Then Back to the Waikato I went to sharemilk for 7 years.This led me to purchase a farm near Morrinsville where we set up a horse stud, breeding and rearing race horses for the next 10 years!After the 1987 share crash we sold up and went to live in Tairua.I Joined the Harcourts Team in 1995 and have been working in the industry ever since.I am upfront and honest with people, which has served me well with a lot of repeat business over the years.I’m married to Jennifer who I Have 3 children with, & now 6 wonderful grandchildren.
