But briefly in my own words, I am a father of 6 (now fully grown and awesome kids) and Husband of one lovely lady, Shelley. Been married to her for just short of 40 years. Joined the military at 16 and a half, spent 13 years in the NZ Army (with a short stint in Ausy) before heading into civy life as a sales man . Worked my way up from door to door sales to Sales Management (mainly in Technology/Telco) before starting a number of my own business's, some with success, some without. Did 10 years Sales and Sales leadership consulting (which included a lot of recruitment) and then headed overseas to work for a couple of large International corporates (firstly in PNG then in Myanmar), and then a few smaller startups in Myanmar. Came back in 2019, and have done a few relatively senior sales GIGs since then, and retrained my self in online marketing, before comeing across Outrun, just last week! Outside of work, mostly I spend time with Family, travel and do garden stuff!
