Richie Mills

42

Dad to Kweli Mills (Tutahi Tatou)I run my own small film company and specialize in internet marketing videos. This allows me to only work in town a couple of days a month and the rest of my time is spent editing footage from home. This buys me a lot of freedom to take part in my son Kweli's life. I teach dance in the school hall and help out with the kapahaka practices. I have also just been appointed the year 7/8 B team basketball coach :)I joined the BOT because I have always been a voice for the youth and interested in youth issues. Before film I worked as a DJ, youthworker, dance teacher and sales. I have always had an affinity to kids and still to this day am pretty good at seeing life through their eyes. So with that in mind I go to the BOT meetings and do what's best for them.
