I am the founder of Male Room and have more than 30 years’ experience in working with families and males in the Nelson Region. As the chair of Male Survivors Aotearoa, I am committed to working with our member organisations to establish a sustainable national network of support service for male survivors of sexual abuse.

In addition to my role with the Male Room, I am also a Justice of the Peace, a trustee for the local Primary Health Organisation and a member of the steering committee for Te Rito anti-violence network in the Nelson Tasman region.

I am father of two children and grand father of two grand children all whom live in Australia. Very sadly my partner and myself have not seen them all year and the prospects for trips to see them in the near future are not looking hopeful.

My upbringing was in Christchurch living by the Estuary under the shadow of the port hills.  Although I have spent most of my life in the North Island, I am essentially a south islander and the central high country continues to be close to my heart. Today as a semi-retired man, much of my time is spent at the Kerikeri Men’s Shed, digging the vegetable garden and fishing.

My working career has been as a counsellor working in schools, tertiary, community agencies and for myself in private practice.  My involvement in Male Survivors Aotearoa is linked to the passion I feel for social justice here in Aotearoa.
