Lori is a transplanted American, a retired nurse, married to Garry, a New Zealander. Garry owned a business in the construction trade before retiring to Whangaroa. Both are avid anglers who head out fishing whenever the weather is good. A winter home in Hawaii feeds the year round fishing addiction.
