I work for the traffic department for the WellConnected Alliance who are construction the Waterview tunnel here in Auckland. I live in Orewa which is north of Auckland with my wife and our British bulldog. My hobbies include powerlifting, spending time with my family and playing the odd xbox game. I have only been powerlifting 1.5 years and really enjoy the challenge of pushing myself.
Special thanks to my trainer, Kirk of Elite Trainers of Takapuna, Auckland.
