High Performance is in Lance’s DNA! Coming from a professional sports background, Lance is highly motivated and goal-driven. This attitude took him into the top 100 in the world and to two Commonwealth Games where he represented New Zealand in squash being an amazing achievement in itself. Throughout his career Lance also made the time to coach beginners new to the sport and pass on his knowledge and experience to the professionals that were under his tutelage. He had the privilege to host and run some of New Zealand’s largest squash events and deal and negotiate with some of the world's best to get them to our shores, this led to the advent of him creating his company which specialised in event and player management. However the pull to real estate was too much to bear for Lance. Having ticked off all the sporting goals that he had set, Lance has always had a strong desire to launch a real estate career with his strong interest in property and helping people, as well as his huge number of network connections, this made it an easy choice for him. So, it’s game on!
