Jarrod was at college from 1988-1993 and was in Orange House.
Not surprisingly, rugby and softball were sports he played for the school and his most memorablemoments were on the First XV’s tour to Australia.
He remembers Mrs Vallander, Mr Lynch and Miss Taylor as teachers he had a connection with.
After school, he moved to Waipukarau but is now back in Ashburton, buying, selling, investing and auctioneering property for Ray White’s real estate team.
His life experiences have included working in the freezing works, hotels, shearing sheds, transport yards, cool stores, rugby development officer and work as a radio commentator for Radio Sport/Newstalk ZB at all the rugby games at the AMI Stadium.
He and wife Sally have four children.
