I grew up on the family farm in the King Country and later gained a Bachelor of Agricultural Science degree, majoring in Valuation & Farm Management at Massey University. This was followed by 15 years in the banking industry where I specialised in farm finance in the King Country and Waikato regions.  During this time I achieved status as a Registered Valuer.   I also spent 5 years overseas based in London

My partner Heather & I live near Lake Karapiro on a lifestyle block with our young family.

I enjoy being part of the vibrant local community & am a proud supporter of our local rural schools. . My current sporting focus is Masters Rowing, with other interests including farm forestry  and multisport events; having completed the South Island Coast to Coast on 2 occasions.

I believe that my competitive nature, attention to detail, right-first-time approach and passion for success along with a commitment to my clients to provide the best possible service, will ensure the optimum chance of achieving the results my clients require.

 My sales to date total over $35 million & I am proud to be in the top 5% of Harcourts New Zealand (1700 agents nationally).

My Personal Assistant/PR & Marketing Coordinator, Tracy Marshall joined me in July 2006 bringing  with her 10 years experience, in the UK, as a PA at executive level.  Tracy is a  Licensed Agent and is currently completing the National Certificate in Real Estate.
