I was born and grew up in the Hutt. After living in Stokes Valley, Naenae, Central Hutt, Petone, Eastbourne and the Western hills, and working in Wainuiomata, I certainly feel a strong sense of home right across the City!

I'm currently living in Belmont with my wife Gabriela, and stepdaughter Sophia together with furry friends Luna and Ginger. My two children are now in their own homes, and I have three sisters with two of them living overseas. My mum still lives in our old family home right here in Woburn.

What else do I get up to?

After decades of working in corporate offices, I like to get out and about in my spare time.

And I confess to being cycling mad! After decades of playing squash, I made the shift to look after my knees.

Here's some pics:

• Gabriela and I getting blown about at the Belmont Trig.
• Constant companion Luna came for a drive.
• I don't get out on the water much, but it still reminds me of my grandad taking me fishing when I was a boy.
• Still enjoying the odd bike race, even though the front of the pack is no longer an option. More often I'm riding to the cafe with my buddies.
• I'm a nerd on the stats, so love my Strava account. What could be more satisfying than winning a digital badge?!
