About Me:
I have had a rich and varied life. Employed by 7 x different companies – mainly in finance and Sales + a period of self-employment, covering some 43 years of full-time work.
I emigrated to and lived in NEW ZEALAND for 27 years, where I enjoyed a healthy ‘hunting, shooting, fishing’ lifestyle at the weekends, before selling up and ‘retiring’ back to the South coast of Sussex in 2017 to be with my lifetime love.
After extensive building works to our house in 2019 and getting through the COVID pandemic, we got married in January 2023 at a vineyard in the Barossa Valley in South Australia.
This was part of a 91 day trip over the Winter encompassing USA, New Zealand and Australia. Not cheap and logistically challenging at such a distance, but some wonderful experiences and memories.
NB. Although I left school at the age of 16 (I wanted a motorcycle and had to earn the money to buy one) I attended night-school for 10 years to complete my professional banking exams and have not stopped learning ever since.
I am an ultra-reliable, dependable and reasonably precise adult who responds well to direction and envisage the modeling industry will provide enjoyable stimulation in these, my later mature years.
I have an excellent relationship with my 2 x almost-grown-up sons, both of which are completing University studies in Dunedin, Otago, NZ and of whom I am very proud.
