I am sixty years of age now. I have lived my life in two countries: New Zealand and USA.  I have a wife, two adult children, a dog (beagle) and two cats. My daughter just gave birth to a handsome boy (image to the right), so now I am a grandfather. Samuel was born March 3rd, the same birth date as my birth parents.

I grew up in the Island nation of New Zealand in the South Island. I attended Catholic schools. In the elementary grades I was taught by nuns. Later in high school I was taught by brothers. I quit school at an early age and worked at many jobs and was rarely out of work. I played rugby for a club, which would eventually play a part for me to travel to the U. S. A. at the age of twenty-six. I had various jobs in Massachusetts, but mainly worked in the bakery business. I played rugby, coached and, refereed the game here. I ran marathons and shorter races here also. I currently work at a supermarket in the deli section.
