Managing Director
After a rewarding 23-year career with Air New Zealand, my wife Julie, our two children, and I moved to Taupo in 2006, and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. With its stunning landscapes and vibrant community, Taupo is a haven for sports enthusiasts like me. Whether it’s tackling Ironman challenges, carving up the slopes, or hitting the trails on a bike, I’m always finding new ways to enjoy everything Taupo has to offer.
Travelling has made me appreciate the beauty of our home even more, but it also fuels my passion for meeting new people and exploring diverse cultures. I've been incredibly fortunate to travel extensively, and South America holds a special place in my heart. From the enchanting Galapagos Islands to the majestic peaks of Patagonia, the dense Amazon rainforest to the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, each destination has left me in awe.
I also thoroughly enjoy leading golfing groups to Asia and organising ski trips to North America — each adventure is an unforgettable experience! Taupo may be home, but the world is my playground.
Travel Consultant & Admin Manager
The travel industry has been my passion since leaving school in the 80s, and it’s also where I met Steve, leading to marriage and the joy of raising two amazing children. The best part of my job is hearing my clients’ stories of their incredible adventures when they return home.
I’ve been incredibly fortunate to see much of the world myself, creating unforgettable memories. Visiting the majestic Taj Mahal was a breathtaking experience, while riding a camel through the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert was both thrilling and humbling. Swimming with Manta Rays in the crystal-clear waters of the Yasawas was a magical encounter, and taking a flight over the stunning “Coeur de Voh,” a striking heart-shaped mangrove formation in New Caledonia, offered a unique and awe-inspiring perspective of the landscape.
But there’s still so much more of the world left for me to explore, and I’m more than willing to discover it all!
