Otago - Otakou

My involvement in the fishing industry started in 1991 as a deckhand on an inshore vessel trawling and crayfishing followed by a stint mining in Australia. Then I went off to the U.K. for work and travel eventually settling back in NZ in 2001 and going back to sea as Skipper of the trawler ‘Solitaire’, which I went on to purchase in 2007.

I’m currently the Vice President of the Port Chalmers Fishermen’s Association and a NZ Fed member.
