Howard’s love of dealing with people and his flair for sales led him to a career in real estate.

Previously Assistant Manager and Cellar Master of the Northern Club for nearly a decade, Howard’s achievements are many, but all focused on ensuring that he met his customers’ expectations.

Enchanted by the Waiheke lifestyle, Howard has lived on the island for nearly 15 years, becoming a well known local and was responsible and being involved with many projects on Waiheke including kindergarten “Junk to Funk” and swimming pool fundraisers and establishing the renowned Café at Stoneyridge Vineyard.
