"Endorsed & Recommended By New Zealand Players Association"

I started managing a roster of female athletes to provide quality advice and assistance to enhance their income, career and future prospects. Being married to a woman who represented New Zealand in three sports, I was driven to effect positive change in a market traditionally dominated by men - striving to improve conditions for all female athletes

philanthropy

"Successfully Raised Over $25 Million"

Philanthropy plays a significant role in my life's purpose and is a satisfying side hustle. I have always felt compelled to give back. Serving on non-profit boards such as Waikato Touch, Swimming Waikato, various trusts and foundations, the objective is consistently to build sustainability and leave things better than before. I utilise my connections and skills to leverage and cultivate relationships that create and add value.
