Born and raised in rural New Zealand, I now call Melbourne home. I'd always considered school to be little more
than a place to eat lunch and play sport, but recalling those rare
moments of focus in the classroom, I remain indebted to an
English teacher who encouraged me to write and write often.
Now, in a working life which has encompassed the full gamut,
from the shearing shed to an abattoir floor, in small business, to
executive management at a global Fortune 500 company, and being at
the ground floor of an exciting dental tech start-up, I am fortunate
enough to be able to pursue a writing career.
That this comprises two discrete audiences is perhaps unusual, but
whatever the trigger for you visiting this site, please feel free to
explore the 'other side' of my writing; whichever one that may be. I
am extremely appreciative of all those who helped me become
established as a rugby writer, and likewise for everyone who
continues to support my fiction writing. But most of all I want to
thank my readers: time is valuable and the fact that you have chosen
to give some of yours over to my writing is humbly and warmly
acknowledged.
