I live and work on Waiheke Island where I operate Blacksand Bronze with my wife Carmen Sosich.

Together we design and make solid bronze hardware that is sold locally and exported around the world.

I am also a skipper and guide for Salt Flyfish, an innovative charter business involved in fishing Tourism.

My fly fishing venture has exposed me to environmental initiatives across the Pacific that improve local economy and social outcomes. I am passionate about practical opportunities where conservation, utilisation and well being combine.

As a father of three daughters, grandfather, business owner, designer and surfer, I thrive on connection and collaboration.
