Richard loves helping people make sense of their tech. After years in IT support roles, from corporate environments to community-focused work, he still gets a kick out of seeing the moment someone’s device finally does what it should. Originally from Hamilton and Tauranga, he brings strong service values, an ITIL Foundation v4 certification, and experience across desktop, network, and systems support, most recently with Horizon Energy Group.
Richard and his wife, Stacey, have four sons plus a grandson who calls him “Koko” after an adorable attempt at “Koro.” When he’s not helping customers, you’ll find him trout fishing, landscaping, or fixing things around home.
Holidays for Richard are all about relaxing, like his recent trip to Flaxmill Bay, an annual tradition with old school friends. After moving to Rotorua, he wanted a role where he could connect with people and his community, making Geeks on Wheels the perfect fit. Friendly, reliable, and solution-driven, Richard is always keen to help others feel confident with their tech.
