ABOUT ME

Living in Napier as I sold out and got a sweet job doing research and extension for a Ag-Hort supply company.

I spent two great years at Virginia Tech in VA - was a blast and I met a lot of great people. Before that I spent 4 months travelling around South America which was amazing.

I like a broad range of people and like to extend my comfort zone. Always keen to share ideas with interesting people.

Interests

I have reasonably broad interests and I like to try new things. In particular I enjoy making food, appreciating wine, throwing stones into water, listening to music, running/walking outside, painting, reading, drinking, and scaring away birds in public places.
