Was born and raised on a sheep and beef farm in New Zealand. Main jobs were mustering (with dogs), sheep shearing, drenching, docking, fencing, tractor work, chainsaw work, and a fair bit of hunting and fishing. Also know how to cook and clean to save myself from trouble with mum (bless her). Then I studied civil engineering and became a structural bridge engineer for a few years before travelling!
