The focus of his medical career has always been in rural practice, first in South Africa, and then in New Zealand, which he moved to with his family in 1987.
He continues to practice as a General Practitioner, but his ‘secret love’ is writing. He has been a regular contributor to Poetry NZ, as well as other poetry publications in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. He has published a book of poetry entitled Lucky Me! and he has written a play, Cyril’s Moon, which has not, as yet, been performed.
He and his wife live in Cambridge, New Zealand.
Their two children live abroad.view less
