Kia ora koutou. I have been principal at NPS since 2017 and love the atmosphere around the place. I love working with fellow teachers who willingly do the mahi to make learning as much fun, relevant and engaging as possible. The children at NPS have some great resources available to them and we are always looking at ways to improve learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. The support of the board and community is second to none and really helps make change when needed at NPS.
After a 21 year career in a variety of roles with NZ Police, I flipped mine and my families lives on its head and completed my teaching degree (and later post graduate study) and began down a whole new career path. I began teaching in Devonport where I have lived for over 30 years. While loving my Police time, I have never looked back and am very proud to be the principal of such a cool school.
I have a twin brother and we are very close. I have been married to Anna for over 38 years and have two adult children, a dog and a cat! As a family we all love skiing. I am crazy about motorbikes and have ridden one ever since I was a teenager. I try to ride to work as much as possible and do as many roadies as I can with riding buddies.
