Family & Spare Time Interests
Family & Spare Time Interests
In his spare time, Michael is an accomplished endurance athlete and ultrarunner having raced well over fifty (50) competitive international marathons and hundreds (100s) of half marathons. Michael is a prior National Ultramarathon Champion and he has raced in multiple World Championships including IAAF events. The dALLRunner runs it all – road, XC, trails and track! Michael also has a keen interest in the triathlon sport having taken part in IRONMAN team events over the years.
As a caring family man too, Michael alongside his wife Helen share in the pleasures and adventures of their three (3) adult boys. The family is active and passionate supporters of Achilles International which involves the guiding of disabled athletes, including blind runners, amputees, wheelies as well as athletes challenged with respiratory issues. At the local athletics club, Michael helps out as the club’s Treasurer for Finance & Grant Funding. Other leisure time interest include community volunteering, travelling the world exploring exciting stories in food, wine and new cultural trends.
In his happy place, Christopher loves spending time on the slopes, breathing in pure mountainous air – while hitting the hardest of tricks on his snowboard, always striving for perfection! For years, he was an avid member of the University of Auckland Snowsports Club (UASC) frequently snowboarding at The Remarkables, Cardrona Alpine Resort and Coronet Peak/Treble Cone ski fields in the South Island of NZ – combined with enjoyable winter seasons over the years also spent at Mount Ruapehu – Whakapapa on the northern slopes and Tūroa on the southern.
In Fact, Chris has competed at the highest level, winning a podium in the 2017 Haensli Cup (hosted by Ruapehu Ski Club since 1950 to find the fastest female/male down the vulcano). Similar to Terje Håkonsen/Craig Kelly who are widely regarded as the greatest snowboarders of all time, Chris’ dedication to hard work has carried through to his professional life.
Chris also enjoys adventures of intrepid travel around the world exploring interesting places – and of course, alluring powdered slopes!
