About
My first job in events was in an events crew at festivals during my university summers, back in the UK and haven’t looked back from there (apart from a nine-month stint working as an accountant, but the less about that, the better). I worked up to operations manager for an event company back in London, before moving to Queenstown where I was managing big-budget events for some of the biggest companies in the world.
Outside of work I spend my time adventuring outdoors, including skiing, biking, surfing, and (more recently) kayaking. Followed by a few beers.
