Carlos

I was born in China, the oldest of 5 children. I spent my early days in China's remote country areas riding horses and fishing.

At the age of seven, I went to Hong Kong to study for four years. Following that, I went to the Philippines to continue my education. In the late 1960's I was shot by a stray bullet (38 Calibre). Although I was able to fully recover, the event had a lasting effect on me as I felt I was given a second chance in life.

 I thought to myself: "This is where I want to live the rest of my life... 

Many years later, I went to New Zealand for a short visit and fell in love with the country. I thought to myself: "This is where I want to live the rest of my life with my family."

Once my decision was made I sold my business and applied to emigrate to New Zealand with my family. It was one of the biggest steps in my life -- moving to a new country to start a new and peaceful life.

My friends consider me an ideas and inventive man. I enjoy renovations and the outdoors, including: gardening, carpentry and home improvement. I also enjoy playing pool, and table tennis.

I see life as a game. I like winning in a game, it makes me feel like a king.
