He had battled cancer three times, each instance a formidable challenge. Initially struck with hip bone cancer, the ordeal left him disabled. Subsequently, he faced lung cancer, and then pancreatic cancer, the latter giving him a mere 5% chance of survival. Against daunting odds and the grim prognostications of five specialists, he embarked on a journey of mental fortitude, reshaping his outlook to believe in the possibility of overcoming cancer.

Now, two years free from the grip of the disease, he finds himself undergoing a groundbreaking three-part surgical intervention at the Mayo Clinic. This pioneering procedure involves the implantation of a custom titanium hip followed by a bone lengthening operation on the femur to regain the four inches lost to hip cancer.

In addition to his triumph over cancer, he has contributed to a recently published bestseller titled "Breaking the Silence: Voices of Survivors," a testament to resilience and perseverance. Originally hailing from the United States, he has traversed the globe, eventually finding a home in New Zealand seventeen years ago.

Primarily an IT professional by trade, fate led him to an unexpected partnership in the realm of entrepreneurship. A chance encounter at a boxing gym sparked the inception of a kettle corn business in a land where the snack was unheard of. What began modestly at weekend markets burgeoned into a thriving enterprise boasting two factories, a workforce of fifteen, and a diverse array of popcorn products.

Their market presence extended beyond New Zealand, reaching international shores in Singapore, Malaysia, and various South Pacific islands. Their brand stood proudly as the second most popular popcorn in New Zealand, a testament to their journey of trials, triumphs, and the lessons gleaned along the way.
