Boating is my life.

I’ve been involved since my early years and I have been extensively involved in the NZ boating industry for decades.

I take huge pride in my industry involvement and in particular the work I have done for Coastguard over the years. We have a world leading Coastguard organisation in NZ and not only is this saving lives in NZ, but it’s a progressive educator in it’s role as our leading coastal safety organisation.

“Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.” ― Hermann Broch
