I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.
I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

He is an inspiration to us all, I can’t even begin to imagine how to cope and yet he says no limbs no problems.
i’ve always loved the videos, whenever i encounter his vids on any site i always watch it, very inspirational and somehow i get teary-eyed watching how he made the kids be inspired..
Wow…that puts a lot of things into perspective. Some people are so incredibly strong and full of life it’s hard not to be inspired by them. And he’s a better swimmer than me.
Doesn’t it just. I was having a ‘woe is me moment’ when I saw it and got over that very quickly. Once the tears dried up at watching the video that is.
Jo I have watched many video’s with Nick and each time I am moved to tears through the inspiration of the man… I think that is his mission in life my dear friend… Some are born to Give…. and show us what Life is all about…. He puts many of us to shame…
Love and Blessings to you Jo.

Agreed Jo… and so nice that he got married too… and is about to be a DAD..
The video I once watched of him which I remember most was him saying how lucky every one was, as they had arms to hold a loved one close… His wish he said to hold the one in his arms would never be, but he said He still held the thought of one day that some one would fall in love with him for who is was… And I think from listening to that interview He has found his love and she hers…
long may they be Happy.. 🙂
