affliations

In addition to my role as a husband to Shelley and raising our five children, I am deeply committed to collaborating with various community groups, NGOs, businesses, schools, and agencies. Listed below are the different governance and partnership positions I hold within these groups.

The Samoan Victim Support Group (SVSG), located in Samoa, has been a cause close to my heart for over 15 years. My wife, family and I are deeply passionate about advocating for children's rights through SVSG. A portion of the proceeds from Vā Concepts is dedicated to supporting the children of Samoa through our contributions to SVSG.
