About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, grow and chow down on lifes bounty!

ABOUT ME

I'm an optimist with an understanding that things aren't perfect. I have a desire to help others, to learn from each other and to share. People fascinate me in all their infinite variety. I love languages and the ways in which people communicate without talking. I work in the visual effect industry compositing special effects for TV and movies. I have a shaved head because I love how it feels and its so easy to look after.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eating pork and pineapple tacos late at night in Mexico city with my brother. Yes!!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are ever in Auckland, walk (or ride a bicycle) up Mt Eden. Its an easy walk and the view is fantastic. Have a drink at the Wine Cellar in St Kevins arcade. Check out some art at the High Seas Gallery in Beresford Square. If you have access to a car, drive out to one of the many beautiful west coast beaches all within 45 mins drive. Be careful to not get caught in a rip though..
