I have loved fishing for most of my 73 years.
As a youngster, I went with my father and his mates game fishing in Bay of Islands waters.

I liked the sound of classical songs, but I had no notion of becoming a ‘proper’ musician. I knew I didn’t have the patience to truly master it, and decided at university that it was likely a hobby I’d keep casually on the side.

I was born in London to Kiwi parents who were there on their honeymoon. You may think it must have been a long honeymoon but that’s a story for another time.
