Born in Invercargill, attended James Hargest High school. Left at the age of 16 to start an apprenticeship at Port Craig Timber Co. I Left Port Craig in 1973 to work for a jobing carpenter for 18 months.
Olwyne and I married in 1974, and have 3 children. John. Kirsty and Helen and 4 grandchildren.
I started at Dunlop Furniture for 4 years. In 1978 We as a family moved to TeAnau to start with a Joinery company that lasted for about 15 months. From then on to establishing my own business, which I closed in 1990. I then moved to Roxburgh and had a small orchard and reestablished the Joinery and Furniture business for 25 years.
In 2016 we moved back to Wallacetown. I attended a meeting at the working mens club and the Menz Shed invercargill was started from that meeting. I was appointed the shed manager for which I have seen the shed grow.
My hobbies are fly fishing, wood carving and turning, vegetable gardening and of course the family.
