I wish you all a wonderful 2024. May we as a species please stop the hate. What a sad state some people must consciously live their lives in. For anyone to feel that this type of action is even an option indicates to me they must also live a s**t life themselves, bitter, angry & violent. Arohanui to all the families who have had their memories of their loved ones impacted. I had the privilege of meeting & going to his grave site. Christopher Luxon you all need to step up here, you have been direct drivers of these people starting to turn their ugliness into actions!

Nelly Duncan says his brother's headstone was "smashed up", while another resting site looked to be destroyed by a “bonfire”.

I get a bit random from time to time & now is one of those times! I am wanting to try & contact some of the late night shows such as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Jimmy Kimmel Live about an event I will be undertaking on January 23rd 2024 in conjunction with the final event of the current Red Bull Cliff Diving series. Does anyone know of any contacts I can approach. Along with the astounding feats of the Red Bull athletes I am hoping there may be some interest in my Lordoftherings.net connection etc.
Please let me know if you can help, I will be fundraising for a wonderful cause, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Trust New Zealand

During my 3000km hike of Te Araroa - New Zealand's Trail I used the opportunity to raise over $30K for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Trust NZ. Now 5yrs down the track I have decided I want to raise some more money for wonderful cause. It’s a much shorter venture this time. To honour my 67th b’day tomorrow, I will attempt to do 67 consecutive back somersaults of a local wharf, starting at 8.15am NZ time. If you can spare a few dollars, please click through & share the love.

MC closing poem

My closing poem/address at the CETANZ Conference aug 12th 2016, before I handed over to the convenor to officially close the event. It will not make much sense unless you were at the conference & heard the 20+ speakers, but it gives you an idea of my style of MCing. Give me a yell if you need an MC!

Got a beach side house you don't use?!

Our Story

The snow covered Kelvin Heights, definitely one of my favorite locations in NZ when I played the lead support role of 'Ga***ng', commander of the armies of Rohan, in 2 of the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy. As a professional tour guide who can provide a unique insight to your middle earth adventure I love whenever my work takes me back to these places & I still love sharing the stories. I'm also a registered marriage celebrant & master of ceremonies.

In May of 2018 I completed a through hike of the 3000km Te Araroa Trail, now regarded as one of the worlds great & most challenging long distance trails.

As an actor I other roles have included MacBeth, - quote from a Listener review - The 'tomorrow and tomorrow' speech he delivers as a hoarsely despairing wail against fate, himself, his losses, and in the banquet scene his agonised terror in the face of Banquo's ghost is a compelling and forceful piece of acting."
