I am lucky enough to be Otaki born and raised, and have had the amazing opportunity to grow up in this wonderful community and surroundings. I attended our local Waitohu Primary School, Otaki College and then Otago University. Sport has always played a big part in my life having played soccer (First XI) Rugby (First XV) Basketball, Rugby League (Otago, Whiti Te Ra & West Warriors in London) also a season of Rugby in Sweden. My partner Catherine and I returned to New Zealand in March (the weekend before lockdown!), having spent 5 years living and working in London and Sydney, travelling extensively and making the most of our time there. I consider myself very lucky to have started my Real Estate career by working alongside Grant here at First National Otaki and to learn from his experience, wisdom and passion of providing outstanding service to you, our customers. I bring strong local knowledge, youthful enthusiasm and good positive energy to my new role. Since starting 15 months I have benefitted & gain valuable experience from being involved in over 100 sales as part of the team at First National.
