“It has been an exciting challenge taking on two practices and staff on the other side of the world. I love the positive can-do attitude of the Kiwi’s. Their hard work and motivation make it a pleasure to help them get back to whatever they are passionate about - be it farming, snow sports, rugby or their family.”
