I was born & raised in Mangakino, South Waikato. I have dedicated much of my life to Te Reo, Tikanga, Whakapapa and Mātauranga Māori.
I have been fortunate to have learned from many sources including my elders & I particularly acknowledge my Aunty Dr Rangimarie Rose Pere.
I affiliate to many iwi primarily from Ngāti Tūwharetoa & Ngāti Kahungunu.
