I’m passionate about helping people achieve their property goals with honesty, professionalism, and genuine local insight.
 
My family and I have lived on 15 acres in Balcairn for more than 20 years, and that rural lifestyle has shaped my understanding of what makes North Canterbury such a special place to call home.
 
Before real estate, I spent 20 years self‑employed in our local family business. Those years taught me the value of hard work, trust, and building strong relationships -qualities I bring to every client interaction.
 
I’ve played football in North Canterbury for over 25 years and still lace up for Masters with Oxford, keeping me closely connected to the people and communities I serve.
 
I’m also proud to be involved locally as a member of Lions Amberley and a supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters North Canterbury and the North Canterbury Netball Centre.
 
For all your real estate needs, I offer straight‑up advice, deep local knowledge, and a smooth, stress‑free experience from start to finish.
