For those who know me, I’m more commonly known as “Barns.”

My wife Robyn and I have four fantastic children, Ella, Fletcher, Charly and Sydney and we live on a dry stock farm at Omata, where we graze dairy heifers.

I grew up in Taranaki and have turned my hand over the years to dairy farming, fencing, shearing and working at Lowe Walker Freezing works before heading to Dunedin as a sales rep for a building company.

There I joined the Police and have enjoyed a 25 year career ending up heading the Taranaki CIB as Detective Senior Sergeant.

Having bought and sold a number of residential and rural properties, I’m excited by the opportunity to be able to facilitate peoples’ dreams and aspirations either into farm ownership or in their exit from farming to pursue other life interests.

My promise to you is honest hard work, to get the job done and done well.
