Stephen has lived in Te Anau since 2006, working as a local GP and helping parent four children. He joined the trust in 2012, keen to help make it appealing, safe, sociable, convenient and affordable to be physically active locally (also because he enjoys biking and running and “because my kids hate driving out of town”).  He says he appreciates the economic and conservation benefits the trail can bring and that being a trustee has given many meaningful moments: opening new sections of trail; seeing young and old out on the trail; hearing so much positive feedback; seeing the support from businesses and individuals; working and learning with a great team of trustees.  

Lived in Fiordland since I was born, married to Neil, involved in retail and tourism, love being involved and giving back to our community, enjoy cycling existing trail and passionate about assisting in helping extending them before I am too old to enjoy them.  Keen to leave a legacy for our grandchildren.
