After 6 years of cow's bums in the foggy, fertile fields of Morrinsville, the pull of home saw Daniel back in Taupo at the start of 2005. Through his career based in dairy cattle medicine, Daniel has pursued his interests in whole herd health and nutrition (offering Intelact consultancy) and reproduction (resulting in his 2 year old son, Connor). Daniel is also one of the team of Directors in VETPlus. Married to Kim (also a veterinarian at VETPlus), the whole family enjoys the outdoors in the Central Plateau area, with wakeboarding, mountain biking, kayaking, and tramping taking up most of their spare time.
