“Poverty is a lack of cash, not a lack of character, education or motivation” ~ Neville Pettersson
A hoodrat who grew up Aranui, Christchurch. My upbringing was hard and we missed out on a lot. My parents split badly and with my extended family from Murupara we were exposed to drugs and gangs. Something of a miracle, both myself and my sister managed to finish school without a police record or any addictions (LOL).
“The true measure of society can be found in how it treats it’s most vulnerable members” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
I always wanted to travel and after I met Carole (my wife now) we lived in various places such as London, Port Harcourt, Spain, France, Dublin and Qatar.
“Maturity is the ability to prioritise values before feelings. Integrity is measured by how strongly you hold onto your values under pressure. Wisdom is the ability to discern, formulate or change your values based on new evidence” ~ Neville Pettersson
In my spare time I enjoy playing tennis, binge watching TV shows and spending as much time as possible with my family.
