: About Me

I born in England but grew up in New Zealand (this is where i call home) I grew up playing outdoors mainly in the water and at the beach. My first job was in a fishing tackle store and this sparked a lifelong passion.

As I grew older went to school, then before I knew it had graduated university where I studied a double major in business and IT.
Since then I have worked in the business sector. I have successfully owned my own business, Been the National Advertising Manager for a publication company. A large part of this job involved photography and designing marketing campaigns for clients, something I really enjoyed. I am now currently on the other side of the world working in the financial sector in a country called Luxembourg.
