A Little Bit About Me Outside Of Work...

Originally hailing from the green Waikato of Aotearoa New Zealand, I’ve lived on both sides of the Tasman over the last decade. Home is my wife and our three cats, all of whom are very sweet and very weird. 

​

I can usually be found anywhere there’s good live music, authentic Mexican food, or a decent vinyl record store. ​
