Auckland Walk Leader · Founder of Morning Meetup

The last 6 years have been a period of massive change and I faced some incredibly difficult times. I got divorced, both of my parents died, I had to close down my business, I was sacked, made redundant, and had to rebuild my life.

I've faced massive grief, loneliness, financial hardship and had to completely reshape my identity. I have been through periods of depression and felt hopeless and worthless.

I'm a Dad of 4 boys, and I knew I had to find a way through for them. I wanted to show them that life will have its share of challenges but you can overcome them. Throughout all of this, I had my family and a crew of men that supported me and helped me through the dark times. I know I'm lucky, a lot of men don't have that.

So I started Morning Meetup in November 2024 to provide an opportunity for men to form real connections with other men. It's not group therapy, just a group of guys having a walk and a chat. Sometimes you just need some mates to talk about an issue, share your thoughts with, walk through life's ups and downs, or just have a laugh together.
