    HUMBLE BEGINNINGS…

     

    Having grown up in the small settlement of Waiuku – south of Auckland. Carl is a well grounded, hard working kiwi. He grew up playing the sports most young kids enjoy, and continued into his teen years playing rugby and cricket.

     

    SIGNS OF PROMISE…

     

    In 2007 Carl took up triathlon as a sport. This was no mean feat, having grown

    within a few years he had become a top age group triathlete, finishing 9th in the world in the ITU World Championships in Budapest in 2011.

     

    NEXT STEPS…
