Born in New Plymouth, Michael came north when his parents bought a dairy farm in Matamata in the 1990s.
He joined J Swap Contractors as a school leaver, starting out as the Stop Go Guy, before graduating to driving trucks and working in logistics.
After a stint back home on the farm, the chance came up to take over Spraylink, and Michael and Shanekea jumped at it.
Michael’s goal for the business is continuous improvement – he is determined to give the best service every time and is constantly upgrading things to make sure clients get that. His philosophy? Surround yourself with good people, and the business runs itself.
Running the three kids to cricket, rugby, golf and netball takes up most of his free time!
Worst habit? The office agrees - he’s always on his phone.
