George Peart

I am 50 mumble, Prior to counselling I spent the majority of my time working in sawmilling and associated industries. I have spent my down time with organisations such as Rural Fire, Land Search and Rescue, Royal New Zealand Naval Volunteer Reserves, Rotorua Lakes Volunteer Coastguard. Work wise I have filled in spare time with working in a bottle store, restaurants and my personal favourite, a fishing guide in Rotorua.

These days I make the most of what Blenheim and Marlborough has to offer. I enjoy fishing and snorkelling in the Marlborough Sounds, racing  Homing Pigeons and building model aeroplanes.(you can see my collection at the office)

 As you can see I have had a broad range of life experiences and I am told that I can connect well with people. I am passionate about helping people with the stuff that makes life harder than it has to be
