I have had a long association with Male Support Services Waikato and Mike Holloway and currently hold the role of Chairperson. I have a keen interest in the wellbeing and safety of children in our community and I am passionate about the work MSSW does to support men and boys and their families. I have been privileged to watch and contribute to the growth and development of the organisation over the years and look forward to the future.

Board Member, Treasurer

I work with not-for-profit and social enterprise communities to develop on-purpose strategic agendas and effective governance frameworks. I am proud to be working with my colleagues in MSSAT Aotearoa to build a capable national organisation, enabling its member organisations to provide an appropriate nationwide support service for the male survivors of sexual abuse.

I am a stand for men to be free and fully self-expressed. I am committed to creating a world where women are safe and secure, and whanau are strong and thriving.

My whanau are from Ngaruawahia where I was raised and currently reside. I’ve been married to my beautiful wife Mona for 18 years, we have 5 tamariki.

I work for our tribal organisation Waikato Tainui as a content creator and producer for Tainui Live, our tribal media entity.

I am also the founder and leader of Arise Movement Mentoring and Initiation. We provide safe spaces for men and boys to create, connect and collaborate through Rites of Passage, holistic wānanga and men’s support groups.

I am passionate about making a difference for others and committed to each and every individual being empowered to author and create their own lives. It is an honour and a privilege to be a contribution to Male Support Services Waikato and to be of service to the men in our communities.
