International Freelance writer, photographer, motorcycle & vehicle tester

• 2001 - Present

Freelance writer, photographer, motorcycle & vehicle tester for a number of NZ, Australian, US and UK magazines and newspapers since 2001. I have tested many motorcycles from a 2 million dollar factory MotoGP bike, NZ Superbikes, rare NZ-built race bikes, to a farm Yamaha AG100 and ATVs. I've driven a huge variety of machinery from an 80 tonne dump truck, diggers, a D8 bulldozer, a road grader, over a hundred different farm tractors, to a road roller. And many more! People I've interviewed include many world champions including Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and the now retired Casey Stoner. Currently I write feature articles only for an Australian and a UK magazine, both sold around the globe. I also write international press releases for NZs biggest motorcycle series now called the Suzuki Series. These go to all major NZ newspapers and industry magazines and many websites in NZ and around the world. My photos have been published in many international magazines and are regularly used in posters, calendars, newspapers and magazines. Although professional for over 1 year, this is a hobby only.
