The person
Kris was born, raised and educated in Stockholm. He has lived in NZ off and on with kiwi wife Janine and two kids for the past 15 years and is now well and truly settled on a lifestyle block in Albany.
He is passionate about spending a kiwi summer camping and fishing the far north. He loves experiencing new cultures while travelling with his family – the last trip took them across China and next they are aiming for Thailand. A perfect balance!
