I live in Wellington, and am an owner/operator of Koromiko Gardening and Landscape Design and Koromiko Environmental.

I previously worked for DOC as Programme Manager for Nature Central, and for WWF-New Zealand as Terrestrial Conservation Programme Manager. I have also worked for Wellington City Council's Parks & Gardens Department as Community Biodiversity Coordinator and at the Wellington Botanic Gardens.

I set up a community restoration/trapping project adjacent to Zealandia and am a regular volunteer with the Remutaka Conservation Trust.
