My Father is from Siumu, and my Mother from Sapunaoa in Falealili. I grew up in Otara and am a proud Samoan and member of my South Auckland community. Family, Faith, Culture, Service and Relationships are the heart of who I am. These are values that drew me to Village Collective.
I joined Village Collective in January 2025 and bring over 25 years of experience as a therapist in clinical, therapeutic, and forensic settings, alongside extensive management and leadership experience. I live in South Auckland with my wife, Eileen, our daughter, Keileen, and our two dogs.
As Chief Executive, I champion Pasifika youth to take ownership of their wellbeing, embracing their identity in the context of their changing environment. I lead strategic initiatives, empower our dedicated teams, and build meaningful partnerships with our stakeholders across our Pasifika communities.
