I have been involved in education, as well as a range of training and facilitation in sports and the aquatics industry since 2013. I trained as a primary school teacher and taught in classes ranging from juniors all the way to high school. I have spent the last 2 years providing specialist technology training in a variety of schools across New Zealand. I am passionate about incorporating technology into classroom practice, and believe that the tech should be the easiest part!
Family and faith are central parts of my life – this is what grounds me and makes me who I am. I am also mad about music and sports! Football is one of my passions! I started refereeing from the age of 15, and have been fortunate to referee up to what would be considered semi-professional football in NZ. In addition to running around, I am also a Referee Assessor and Instructor. My team is Manchester United! #GGMU
I live in Auckland with my wife, Chloe, who is also a teacher, and our daughter, Millie-Rose who was born in 2020 just before the craziness (thankfully!) that was to come!
Our team here at UTB is full of crazy-talented people, all with a passion for tech and education. We’re all here for the same reason, which is to help you feel empowered to use tech as best you can in your context!
