"Guy was born in Auckland, New Zealand but soon moved to Rotorua, located in the middle of the North Island. ( A huge tourist town , known for it’s hot mud pools and thermal activity ) Here he started his love for bikes, riding in BMX races and representing Rotorua as a junior. As well as BMX races Guy played in a variety of sports such as Soccer, Rugby and harriers.
Soon after Guy turned 11 they moved back to Auckland ( the big smoke) where he turned in the bike for running shoes and started running for Auckland city.
Here he produced some good results for a number of years as a Junior and started his love for endurance sports. However it wasn’t until late in his High school years when he discovered Triathlon. In 1997 Guy took part in his first triathlon and that was it , he was hooked.
From then on, it has been all about triathlon."
