Let's hear it from the BOYS television & radio personality THE ONE THING I WISH I KNEW ABOUT WOMEN: Why do you engage in conversations or ask for things to be done at 6:40pm? The sports news has been locked in there since time begun and you know we can't multi-task. Is it that important that it can't wait until the Sports Presenter says "And that was sports". 9-5 YOU WILL FIND ME: At Whitebait TV with my gorgeous wife and our most amazingly talented team making What Now, The Erin Simpson Show as well as TV commercials and corporate videos. The environment that Janine has created there is something truly special. AFTER 5 YOU WILL FIND ME: On air with Dave on Classic Hits - 7pm is home time and then it's all about family. WHY I LIKE LIVING IN: Christchurch - we've been through so much over these last couple of years and because of that I think we've become tighter as a community. The future with a new look city is really exciting and for now so many of us are just so appreciative for what we've got. I CAN'T DO WITHOUT: My PS3. My son Louis and I share many hours of Father/Son bonding (though Janine says it sounds more like arguing) at the Playstation console. We escape to other worlds and take each other on at tennis, rugby and cricket - and I have to say he's winning more than me! CELEBRATE: Being a Dad. It's simply the best part of my day. I can never spend enough time with my beautiful children. And just knowing that at the end of a day at radio or TV I get to come home and laugh, sing and play with my crazy kids is awesome! UNDER-RATED: Eating dinner together around the table with the TV OFF! Sharing stories about our day; celebrating each other's achievements and little wins throughout the day. MY FAVOURITE THINGS: My kids - they make me laugh, they make me so proud and they make me want to be the best Dad ever! LAST MOVIE/CD/BOOK: Just finished reading Bill O'Reily's 'Killing Kennedy - The End of Camelot'. Not a rib tickler but I've always been fascinated with the man JFK and the mystery behind his assassination. And finally got to see Les Mis at the movies - Hugh Jackman - unbelievable! All time favourite book/CD: 'And It's Goodnight from Him: The Autobiography of The Two Ronnies' by Ronnie Corbett. When I was growing up we used to watch and love so much British Comedy. Morecombe and Wise and The Two Ronnies were our favourites and this book is a beautiful reminder of just how funny they were. Next holiday: I LOVE the sun so as long as it's there - I don't care where! Guilty pleasure: Toast! I could eat 12 or maybe 15 slices with too much butter and an assortment of artificially flavoured toppings! Best advice: If you can't say something nice - say nothing. It drives me crazy reading tweets and blogs and comments on the Internet from people who just complain about or just choose to be mean about others. Stop complaining about what others are doing with their lives and go and do something with yours! Woman you admire most: My wife Janine - she just does so much for for so many - and as for those legs! Your mentor: Yoda - the Jedi Master. "Do. Or do not. There is no try." And on a more constant level - my wife Janine. Best health tip: If it didn't ever swim, fly, run or grow off the land - DON'T EAT IT! Favourite saying: "Yes honey, I was just about to do that" Worst moment: The day my Dad died. What's next? Working on some exciting television ideas - really different to what I've done before. I've enjoyed the break and I think there was a stage there whenever a new show came up Jason Gunn was the host! As appreciative as I was for the work, there may have been a bit too much Jase on our screens! And Dave and I are working on quite a major project for our afternoon show on Classic Hits. That's really going to test my fear factor - did I mention I hate open water and sharks! www.h e rmagaz in e .co.n z | 103
