Nō Pōneke ahau, ko Te Ātiawa te iwi mana whenua o korā
Ko Ahumairangi tōku maunga
Ko Kumutoto tōku awa
Ko Pipitea tōku marae
Ko Tokomaru tōku waka
Ko Te Ātiawa tōku iwi
Ko Ngāti te Whiti tōku hapū
E noho ana au ki Pōneke, ko Te Ātiawa te iwi mana whenua konei
Ko Te Karanga O Te Tui tōku ingoa.

Outside of work TK enjoys paddling waka, playing rugby and connecting with friends and whānau.
