When I was 23 I decided life was too short to be stuck in a job I didn't like so I gave up my job, packed up my Holden Kingswood full of camping and fishing gear and when on a hiatus to Cape Runaway to suss out the monster kingfish lurking around. I found my Birth Mother, gave up smoking and got fit. After this trip and a number of far north trips I started running landbased fishing charters and selling wholesale fishbait in Wellington.
Now I have a retail fishing shop in Rongotai, a wholesale bait distribution business and run fishing charters on 3 vessels from Mana on Wellingtons West coast.
I usually run an annual fishing competition in the middle of the year, hold instructional fishing classes, seminars and private tuition.
