About
Here is a snapshot of some of the stuff I get up to:
Coaching & Training
I was a Trainer at Telecom New Zealand for the 123 Call centre. Curator and Lead Speaker Coach for TEDxRuakura. Have done workshops for start up incubators: Soda inc; Kokiri; and Ahikomako.
Gaming
I enjoy Rocket League, but am not very good at it. I also enjoy Skyrim and Sniper Elite more than is probably good for me.
Podcasting
The Chris and Sam Podcast has been going for several years and is Hamilton’s #1 lifestyle podcast.
Filmmaking
Filmmaking – Have produced several short films, worked as crew on multiple short films, acted (even starred once) in a short film. Have been a background actor (extra) in ads, TV series, american cable series, and feature movies.
TEDxRuakura
I really enjoy finding the most amazing people in our community to speak on our stage each year. I love helping them to refine their message and am very proud of the standards the event has upheld in the years we have been doing this.
Kyokushin Karate
Although my tournament days, and training days are well behind me this made up a big part of my life. My fighting career stretched from 1987-1997. I ran the Defensive Edge Academy dojo or club in Wellington for several years.
