I first picked up a planer when I was 15, and have been shaping under my own label since (14 years in total). 

During my career I've been blessed with some great opportunities. Contract shaping in Mauritius at some insane reef breaks, finish shaping at PUKAS in Spain under Peter Daniels, meeting and hanging out with the shapers above and meeting others such as Mickey Munoz, Max Wetteland, Gary Linden, Eric Arakawa, Pat Rawson, Randy Rarick, Murray Bourton- some of the many who have pushed our sport to the limits and continue to do so. Working at several WCT and WQS events, spending 3 seasons so far on the North Shore and judging Pro Junior events in Australia as an ASP Autralasia Judge, has also given me further unique insight into the technicalities and nuances of the highly specialised high performance surfboard. This further knowledge and understanding translates into a better board, every time.

I continue to derive great pleasure from my surfboard designing and shaping an am of course ever grateful and indebted to all the shapers who have, and who will continue to, guide and inspire me. My fortune is in my ability and opportunity to do what I love."
