Born in Wellington, England in 1970 and raised in Ironbridge, Midlands; the home of the industrial revolution, about 150 miles north west of London. Talented cross country runner, soccer player and grandson to an Essex Beagle, he took up Swimming and Marathon running when the family moved to Fiji in 1980. Just missing out on Pan Pacific Games swimming squad selection, he trained and competed against some of Fijis best, completing his first full marathon at the age of 14. Educated at Suva Grammar School where 99% of class mates were either Indians or Fijians, he learned from an early age that it was not what you achieve in life but how you handle the cards dealt to you.

Moving to Rathkeale College in Masterton, New Zealand for boarding school at the age of 15, independence and confidence was forced upon him graduating with Sporting Colors and University entrance while balancing the roles of School Prefect and the Head of House. Off to Auckland at 17 he began what was to be a 4 ½ year apprenticeship with Peddle Thorp Architects while balancing work and study in Architecture at Carrington Polytech ( Now Unitec Institute of Technology ) and the fitness Industry. Supplementing income at the Auckland Tepid Baths Fitness Centre, he also managed to coach, train with, and compete against some of NZ’s most talented triathletes.

Moving to Brisbane in 1992, he took up cycling for University of Queensland while working for firms such as Forrest Architects and Wayne Blow and Partners. With the birth of his son Anthony in April 1996, priorities changed, as he joined Woods Bagot for 2 ½ years before starting up Residential Design Firm partnership -Hitecture Formations in 1997. Forced to return to industry in 1999, for Majer Tiles, he studied Bachelor of Applied Science – Construction Management part time at Queensland University of Technology. Upon returning to self employment in 2001, and the upgrading of NZ qualifications in Remedial Therapy and Sports Medicine, he has been heavily involved with "Soccer, Athletics, Waterpolo and Volleyball at Club, State and National level not to mention racing and completing the New Zealand Ironman in March 2007."

With his love for his son Anthony, Latin America and travel, impeccable design skills and building industry know how, and the passion for assisting others, he will continue to create the balance in his life and those around him.
