General Interest

General
NEW TEAM
In 2020 he helped to establish Otago Wheelchair Rugby in Dunedin, New Zealand. He plays for the team as an able-bodied wheelchair rugby player and also serves as the team coach. "This will be the first year that Otago has had a team [speaking in 2020]. For the past two years they had players who have joined in with the Canterbury team. But this year they have decided to go it alone and all power to them. It is great to see the development of new regions. So I wanted to make sure I could help them the best I could. So I'm playing for them having played for Canterbury for the last 14 years or so and I hope I can make a bit of a presence out there on court to assist."

OCCUPATION
He works as a general manager for Christchurch Metal Finishers, a metallic plating company based in New Zealand. (Facebook profile, 27 Jun 2020; LinkedIn profile, 01 Jan 2020)
