Not a lot of people know this about me, but I’m very good at…

My five-year-old son will tell you it’s drawing cartoons. I’ve never been able to draw, so I don’t know how all of a sudden I can, but it’s enough to impress my boy, so I will take that.

If I could pass any law, it would be…

That bald people like me don't have to pay for parking!

My favourite book ever is…

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbran­d. It’s an amazing true story of a man who survived a plane crash in sharkinfes­ted waters, and drifted in the ocean for 47 days only to be captured and tortured for two and a half years. The will to survive is incredible.

The best day of my life was…

The days my two boys were born. My wife Sharyn and I had a really tough journey to get there. Like many other Kiwis experience, we’d lost three along the way, so as you’d expect, the emotions were through the roof. We feel very blessed.

The best thing my parents taught me was…

To do good things for other people.

When I was a child, I wanted to grow up and…
