I guess you'd say veteran journalist - 30 years plus, newspapers, radio, TV, PR and websites...also a published author with New Zealand Surfers ( co-authored) published by Penguin, and The Best of Tauranga 'insider's guide' by SB Books. I'm especially keen on the outdoors, tourism, and certain sports - I'm a long-time surfer, stand-up paddle boarder, cyclist and skier.
