My wife Jeannie and I moved from Rotorua to Taupo in 2013. We live on a deer farm, and love the community feel that the Taupo area offers. We have two children, and both attend Wairakei Primary School. They enjoy the culture and interactions they have with the staff and other students, and have made a great set of friends.

In addition to running our deer farm, I own the local Totalspan franchise in the Rotorua/Taupo region, and Jeannie is a teacher, which has given me a good insight to our education system. I believe with my skill set I can provide knowledge and assistance to the fantastic leadership team we have at Wairakei Primary School.

In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, boating, mountain biking, squash, trail riding and being actively involved with our children’s sports. If you see me around the school, at pony club or on the side lines of the sports field, don’t hesitate to say hi as I would love to hear your thoughts about our fantastic school.
