A positive vision
Campbell, a Kiwi bloke trying to make the most of life, balancing my painting business and the love of my life, Sammy.
Now, let me take you back to where it all began. Picture this: a summer camp for inner-city kids, where a bunch of us Kiwis went and worked our summers. That’s where I met her—Sammy, a firecracker American, with a heart as big as her Jewish community back home. We hit it off instantly, and before I knew it, we were inseparable.
But as the season came to an end, reality hit. I had to go back to New Zealand, and Sammy had to return to her life in New York. We were worlds apart, but we weren’t ready to give up. So, we did the long-distance thing. And when I say long-distance, I mean LONG distance. Five years of late-night phone calls, countless messages.
We made it work. Because that’s what you do when you’re in love!
Fast forward to now, and Sammy and I are both, finally, living in New Zealand. I noe get to see her virtually every weekend! It’s been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t change a thing.
Now, about that painting business of mine... Moving it from New Zealand to New York? Yeah, that is a challenge to get my head around, but I’m an achiever, and I love a good challenge! I know I will find a way to stand out, show these New Yorkers what a Kiwi painter can do. THATS IT. I'm a KIWI PAINTER
So, I focused on creating a brand that blended the laid-back Kiwi vibes with the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple. I reached out to clients, offering them something unique, something with a touch of New Zealand.
And you know what? They loved it!
People were drawn to my work ethic, can do attitude, and my attention to detail. I may be a Kiwi in the land of the Yankees, but I know how to paint a fucking wall!
And as for Sammy and me? We’re happier than ever. Living together, in love, and conquering the world one happy customer after another. She’s my muse, my partner in crime, and the reason I get up in the morning.
Every time I finish a job, I leave a little Kiwi stamp in the corner, a reminder of where I came from and the journey that brought me here. With Sammy by my side, the perfect business, and the awareness to realise what I've got! I’ve found my happily ever after.
