Born in Wellington in 1951 I entered the funeral profession in 1969 in my home town of Wellington.  I later moved to Dargaville to work in a small family funeral business for a time.  I then left the funeral profession to take up a job with an aerial topdressing company as a driver.  I married Kay in 1980 and shifted to Whangarei and commenced work with Morris and Morris in 1982 as a Funeral Director and Embalmer.  By 1994 I had completed my embalming qualifications with the British Institute of Embalmers.  We have two children Leanne and Carl, four grandchildren and a dog named Annie.  Both Kay and I love to travel and thoroughly enjoyed our last tour through Europe and the UK.  In my spare time I enjoy socializing with friends and a bit of gardening, but not too much!
