David Wattam

David’s varied career has seen him running coffee bars, KFCs, a chain of pizza stores which he owned and sold, and co-owning an Italian restaurant, before becoming a driving licence testing officer which he did until his retirement. A fascinating chapter of his early career was his membership of a controversial ‘utopian’ society that owned Rakino Island in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf where he lived and worked for several years. David is now retired. He has one married son and two grandchildren and lives in Auckland, New Zealand.
