I am a general surgeon with a sub-speciality interest in colorectal surgery. I work in Invercargill, which is at the southern most tip of the South Island. I am a past president of NZAGS and have retired from the RACS Rural Section executive committee after 3 terms (9 years). My professional interests lie in rural and remote surgery. My main hobby nowadays is flying a Tigermoth out of Mandeville airfield in Southland.
