My real estate career has spanned 25+ years, covering the building industry, subdivision and land development and owning and running five real estate offices in the lower North Island. My wife Jan and I have had a long association with Mangonui and the Bay of Islands, returning here for holidays for the last 10 years and it was always our intention to relocate here. Our three adult children, all living overseas, love coming home to Northland for their R&R. Waking up to the clear, big, blue skies and the calm atmosphere of Northland make a great start to any day. In my spare time I enjoy traveling to catch up with family and friends, reading, architecture, boating and fishing. I have been lucky to have the opportunity to learn from business leaders and entrepreneurs from an incredibly diverse range of industries. Joining Barfoot & Thompson to continue my real estate career was an easy decision, as their business and family values align with my own core values. Focusing on the Mangonui and greater Doubtless Bay areas, I really look forward to meeting and working with clients who have a passion for the area, as I do. I take great pleasure in sharing the rich knowledge I have obtained, and hope to use this to add value to the journey of all my vendors and purchasers.
