Don introduced the Ray White franchise to Te Anau in 2009, initially as a remote salesperson before joining the team at Perpetual Real Estate. In April 2016, he transitioned to trading as Fiordland Real Estate Ltd under the Ray White banner. Selling his share of the business to Stephanie Jones in 2024, Don continues to act as the Licensee Agent and Salesperson for the Company. With two adult children and four grandchildren in their lives, this transition has afforded Don and his wife Alison more time to spend with family and pursue their other hobbies. Outside of work, Don actively participates in the Te Anau community, engaging in various organisations such as the Te Anau Rugby Club, Stabicraft Fishing Classic, Rotary Club, and the Te Anau Events Trust. Additionally, he involves the team in community sponsorship of local schools, sports clubs, and events.
