I am from the East Coast of New Zealand, however, I grew up most of my life in Wellington.
I have resided in Brisbane for a many years now, married to my beautiful wife Chloe Cameron.
I began my mau raakau journey in 2012 and i can assure you, nothing has been short of amazing. I have discovered so much about myself as a person, attained new skills and above all else, I have created lifetime friendships.
One thing i love about Te Manawa Ora is the family orientated feel that we have created over the past many years of our journey.
Mau raakau is a vehicle for our people to learn and grow together in
Te Ao Maaori. No matter where you are in the world
2022 was my year to attain the Pouwaru level TAURA POUWHAKARAE.
Maaori Proverb
He aha te mea nui o teenei ao? Maaku e kii atu!

What is the most important thing in this world? I say to you!
It is people, it is people, it is people...
