I took my first steps in Mount Cook and was dragged up a 4000m peak when I was 9 years old - I guess I was doomed from the beginning!

With each year I've only become more passionate about the outdoors, and particularly all of the wonderful opportunities we have on our doorstep here in New Zealand.

I am a keen tramper, mountaineer, mountain biker and kayaker. I dabble in most other outdoor activities.
