Real estate ownership has always been a priority for most New Zealander's. Being entrusted to market and negotiate the sale of a person’s greatest asset is as much a thrill and privilege for me today, as it was when I began in this industry in 2007. My business is based on honesty, integrity, and trust; and for me, real estate is a contact sport. Building and maintaining relationships with prospective buyers and sellers is why a large percentage of the business I do is repeat or referral. I am a confident, gregarious person with excellent communication and negotiation skills. I believe wholeheartedly that when all is said and done there is no substitute for hard work. Family and friends play a huge part in my life and I really love the spirit and energy of a thriving community. Whether you are coming or going, I will help you get there and make the process as stress-free and enjoyable as I possibly can.

I am thrilled to introduce myself as a proud partner and father of 2, not born but definitely bred in Nelson! With a passion for both family and community, I am deeply involved in various endeavours that shape my life. I call Nelson/Tasman my home and choose to live here because of the exceptional lifestyle it offers its people. The community feeling you don’t get from a bigger city, the beautiful weather, convenience and of course the close vicinity to extended family. One of my greatest joys is leading the Celtic Pipe Band in Stoke, where I volunteer my time to teach and guide over 50 members in the Scottish art. It really is my passion. Before embarking on my real estate journey, I spent 6 years as a manager at McDonald's. This invaluable experience taught me a profound understanding of systems, processes, people management, and sales skills, which seamlessly transferred to the real estate domain. Since commencing my career in late 2019, I have acquired over 5 years of experience. In my first year, I was honoured with the title of Rookie of the Year and became a member of the esteemed Summit Champions Club, having successfully closed over 21 sales within a year. Presently, I have joined forces with Glyn Delany, and together we have established an impressive track record of selling over 100 properties annually. What drives me each morning is the exhilaration of bringing deals together and creating a superior selling system and process that outshines our competitors. By constantly improving ourselves and enhancing the selling experience for our vendors, I aspire to make a positive difference in the lives of both our sellers and buyers, all while thoroughly enjoying the journey. My success in this challenging industry is largely attributed to the exceptional support from both my partner Kate, kids Austin and Esmé and of course, Summit. Summit’s induction program, mentors, training opportunities, commission and bonus structure, management support, and inclusive culture have equipped me with the necessary tools to thrive. If you've ever considered a career in real estate, Summit can definitely help you too. Whether you're ready to make a move in the real estate market or contemplating a career change, I invite you to call me. Let's initiate a conversation and explore the possibilities together. Your next exciting chapter awaits!

'Still serving the community – now with sold signs, not cuffs' Once upon a time, I got told to go and get some life experience. What followed next was a 16-year career in the New Zealand Police. From earning District Commander Commendations to being successfully selected into the Armed Offender Squad, it’s fair to say I had a front row seat to the good, the bad and the ugly! I’ve built my career on hard work, integrity and going the extra mile – literally. As a competitive ultramarathon runner and proud representative of New Zealand at the Trail World Championships, I know what it takes to push through challenges, stay focused and deliver results under pressure.
