Qualifications and Playing History

Academic qualifications include a Bachelor of Business Studies from Massey University and Diploma in Design and Multimedia from UCOL. Played as a keen amateur for 30 years, representing the districts of Taranaki and Manawatu Wanganui at National Interprovincial level. Won a handful of open district events, and a number of Club Championships, mainly at Manawatu Golf Club. Still a keen player, and have now played a handful of Pro-Am's for the enjoyment only. Happy to attempt to mix it with the young crowd, but quite clearly my best playing days are behind me!
