After a fantastic career in the stock and station industry spread throughout King Country, Poverty and Hawkes Bay and Bay of Plenty, it was no surprise that I ended up in the beautiful Eastern Bay of Plenty, Ohope Beach.

Having been involved in rural New Zealand for most of my career, including the finance sector for Wrightsons Farmers Finance, it was a natural easy fit for me to move into real estate and concentrate on selling rural / lifestyle properties.

In 2001/02 I was awarded the REINZ Most Promising New Salesperson for Waikato/BOP/Gisborne areas.

I have owned, worked in and managed real estate companies, and the growth I have seen in the industry and region has been phenomenal.

I am now very proud and excited to have joined the Ray White family and along with Greg Purcell, (Business Owner of Ray White Papamoa and Mount Maunganui) we bring you Ray White Ohope. With our local presence, knowledge and experience coupled with the Ray White brand and innovative systems I am enthusiastic about what the future holds.

Whilst I am still part owner of the business, I am going to do what I absolutely love doing and why I originally got into the industry – selling real estate, connecting with people and forming lasting relationships. I love what Ohope has to offer – I live locally and can often be seen playing a quick round of golf or be seen outdoors on the bike or at the local cafes.
