Born and bred in West Auckland, John’s first memory of native wildlife was of a pigeon feeding on nikau berries at the Cascades. Fifty years on the nikau is bigger; so is John and his life long passion for wildlife became focused on conceiving and developing Ark in the Park. As a day job he’s a GP with other interests of family, bicycling and macadamia nut growing.
