Best thing about where you live?
I live in Grey Lynn—where the coffee is strong, the dogs are trendier than me, and you can’t walk five metres without bumping into someone you know.
What do you like about Ponsonby?
The mix of old-school charm and overpriced avocado toast. Also, the people—everyone has a story and a small dog.
What was your childhood like?
A perfect mix of climbing trees, running around barefoot, and being told to be home before the streetlights came on.
Complete the sentence: I will die happy if?
I manage to never have to call my internet provider’s customer service again.
Your bucket list?
Skydiving, learning how to salsa dance properly, and finally remembering to water my plants before they die.
Most Kiwi thing about you?
My ability to wear jandals in questionable weather conditions.
See yourself in ten years?
Hopefully sipping coffee in my office, still loving what I do, and having a team that makes UrbanNest a household name in property management.
What job would you do other than your own?
Professional travel blogger—because getting paid to sip cocktails on a beach seems like a solid life choice.
If they were to make a movie about your life, who would you like to play you?
Ryan Reynolds—because if I’m going to be on-screen, I at least want to be witty.
What was the last thing you bought and regretted?
An online “DIY haircut kit.” Some things are best left to the professionals.
If you were reincarnated, what would you be?
A well-fed house cat—sleeping 16 hours a day and knocking things off tables for fun.
What do you most dislike about your appearance?
My inability to grow a proper beard—some of us just weren’t meant to look rugged.
What is a project you are looking forward to?
Expanding UrbanNest and helping more landlords get the service they actually deserve.
How would you like to be remembered?
As someone who made life easier for others—whether through work or just a well-timed joke.
What do you love most about your age?
That I no longer feel the need to keep up with TikTok trends.
Which item do you wish would come back into fashion?
Flip phones—dramatically hanging up on people just isn’t the same with a smartphone.
Something that you really disapprove of?
Pineapple on pizza. Some things should never be combined.
Describe one of your biggest disappointments?
Finding out that “growing up” doesn’t mean life suddenly makes sense.
If you won a million dollars what is the first thing you would do?
Buy a house that doesn’t require a mortgage the size of a small country's GDP.
What motivates you?
The idea that every day is an opportunity to do better and grow.
What’s inspired you recently?
People who turn their ideas into reality—big or small, it’s always inspiring.
Give your teenage self some advice?
That haircut isn’t as cool as you think it is. Also, start saving.
How do you chill out?
A good book, some great food, and ignoring emails for an hour.
Which item of clothing can't you live without?
Hoodies—practical, comfortable, and stylish (at least that’s what I tell myself).
A movie that inspired you?
Good Will Hunting—because it’s never too late to chase your potential.
Your most treasured possession?
A watch my grandfather gave me—reminds me of family and the value of time.
What are you insecure about?
My ability to assemble IKEA furniture correctly.
Tell us something very few people know about you?
I can play the ukulele, badly.
Your favorite hero of fiction and why?
Sherlock Holmes—because intelligence and wit never go out of style.
What superpower do you wish you had?
Teleportation—think of the travel savings!
Which talent would you most like to have?
Fluently speaking multiple languages.
What cliché do you most hate?
"Everything happens for a reason." Sometimes things just suck.

My coffee machine.

Pie. Any pie.

Work hard, be kind, and never underestimate the power of a good joke.

Loyal, witty, hardworking.
Do you travel light or heavy?
I say light, but my suitcase says otherwise.
