AOTEA ROOFING LIMITED

Craig Symons - Managing Director

Hi my name is Craig I was born in Wellington, but raised in Palmerston North, I returned to Wellington over 20 years ago to work and play softball.  I have lived in the Whitby/Aotea Suburbs for a number of years.  I am a very family orientated person and have three girls so enjoy spending time with them, and watching them, compete in karate, play softball and netball.

I have a strong passion for sport, especially rugby and softball.  I was the Captain of the NZ Under 17 Rugby Team and represented Manawatu in age grade rugby in my younger years.  Unfortunately I gave rugby away to concentrate on softball.

I have represented New Zealand playing softball and was fortunate enough to play for the 1996 World Champion Black Sox.  I have also represented Hutt Valley for about twenty years.  My local team was Cardinals in the Hutt.  For the Cardinals team I played, coached and was even on the committee for twenty years.  

In recent years I have Coached the Porirua under 11,13,15 girls softball teams and the Under 9,11,13 Softball teams at Pareplim. 

I have coached netball for Samuel Marsden Whitby, Whitby Collegiate and the Waves Netball Club.
