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.

It is people, it is people, it is people...
