CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Classic nice guy, charming but not particularly tall.
Lacks punctuality but no-one seems to hold it against him.
Clever and cautious but longs to be stupid and spontaneous.
Mostly tolerable.

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy the feel of a new city, the revelation of a new idea and the embrace of old friends. I love the feeling of the ground moving beneath my feet. I'm fortunate to enjoy a life of diversity, engagement and warmth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lifting my eyes from the busy pavement, spinning around and realising I had actually stumbled into Times Square, NYC

Reaching the road on an epic 4 day, 80km highway to highway tramp (hike) over a mountain pass with two old friends at home in New Zealand.

The sight of my first traffic roundabout in Hanoi, Vietnam

Teach, Learn, Share

I can explain the global financial crisis if by some miracle you're interested.

Or.

I can teach you how to open a bottle of beer with another bottle of beer.
