I am a retired chap, living here in Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand

Married with five adult daughters and one adult son plus two step daughters and one step son.

Before I retired I was in the retail trade for over twenty years and later in the Royal NZ Air Force ( RNZAF ) then over a period of nine years as a trained security officer at Parliament buildings employed by Parliamentary Services.

These days I am involved in numerous volunteer works, namely the Bible Society, The Soup Kitchens that are run by the good ;Sister of the Home Of Compassion ; Also I am involved weekly with the International Catholic Programme for Evangelization ( ICPE) under the umbrella of the Prison Fellowship's the latter i never ever dreamed I would be involved with. God's blessing on the prisoners and the members of the IPCE team after each visit is spiritually rewarding.
