I'm a small town local guy raised in Plimmerton, Porirua. My roots are up in the Kapiti coast. He uri ahau no Ngati Raukawa ki te tonga toku Iwi, Ngati Kapumanawawhiti toku hapu. I trained at the 'NZ Film and Televsion School' to begin my career as a professional filmmaker. After directing my own film scripts, i figured I needed to diversify my knowledge and skill set as a director in order to articulate effective communication with actors better. The law of attraction works in the universe as I met Sara Wiseman on a feature film 'Human Traces' who serendipitously was looking for someone to begin training at 'The Actor's Program' 2016. In Tāmaki Makaurau I began to training as a professional and now working actor, in Kathryn Rawling's agency. For 5 years I have co-created with a range of NZ and international artists for film/writing and theatrical works and have just recently won Creative New Zealand's 'Nga Manu Pirere' award for best emerging Maori artist, 2018.
