About me

I have lived in Bucklands Beach and Pakuranga since 1991 and hold an MSc degree from the University of Auckland.

 

A business owner of FrogPrints  started in 2000, specialized in photographic and digital printing.  We are probably one of the first online printing business in New Zealand.  I also bring experience from education, IT, and manufacturing sectors.  I am married to Gwendolin, and we have two sons, both Macleans College graduates. 

 

I am actively involved in our community as:  

 

• Neighbourhood Support Street Coordinator;  It is a nationwide community-led movement that brings people and neighbourhoods together to create safe, resilient, and connected communities.

• Treasurer of the Glen Innes Business Association; There are some 150 businesses in the area that we look after.  Among many things we do includes setting a network of CCTV cameras for security monitoring.  We are also well known for hosting Matariki night trail and fireworks at Maybury Reserve each year. 

• Deacon at Central Christian and Missionary Alliance Church.  

 

Collecting cameras and photography are my hobbies naturally as in photographic printing business.  Listening to vinyl records are also things that I enjoy.
