Andrew

Hi there, I’m a relaxed, open minded, well travelled, tolerant and interested guy who’s lived 7 years in Europe and the last 15 years in NZ. An eclectic mix of career paths has resulted in me working for Mercedes Benz in NZ and Aus, tour guiding in Europe, ski-instructing in Austria, flying planes for Air NZ, making bespoke furniture on commission and setting up and running a seismic testing facility at AUT where we research new ways of making resilient infrastructure with PHD students from around the world. As a result I have a wide interest in people, places, cultures and emerging technologies. Also, I’m fortunate to be blessed with an upbeat sunny nature. I laugh easily and listen carefully, am respectful and accepting of most anything. I’m good company but enjoy time alone too.
