I graduated from the Otago University with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (Credit) in 2006.  In previous years I have worked in general practice and as a house surgeon at Southland Hospital.  Although I grew up in Northland, I have fallen for the many outdoor opportunities the Christchurch area has to offer.  My interests include mountain biking and road cycling, tramping, skiing and the outdoors in general.  I have recently returned from cycling in Europe, Scandinavia and the Middle East with my partner.
