I grew up in South Otago and went to school and university in Dunedin. After a stint playing rugby in Amsterdam I worked in foreign exchange in London and Wellington until the pull to come home with my family was too enticing. I was so impressed on my rediscovery of Dunedin I started a tour business to show off the city and peninsula to visitors from all over the world. Now I am very happy to be back working in financial markets.

I love getting to Central Otago in the holidays but not before I have watched my boys play Saturday sport. We cross our fingers for fine weather on Saturday mornings, it’s my favourite part of the week.
