Simon Smith

About me

I have worked in the IT industry for 20 years, starting at Microsoft in England in the early 1990s. Since moving to New Zealand in 1993 I have worked in IT in sales and technical roles, and am currently the Regional Manager for APC for NZ and South Pacific. APC is a supplier of data centre power and cooling technology.

I am married to Jocelyn and we have two children, Annabelle and Leo. I am a keen musician, and play for the Auckland Symphony Orchestra in my spare time. On Saturday mornings you’ll find me coaching Leo’s soccer team.

Why am I doing the LIFEWISE Big Sleepout?

I am taking part in the Big Sleep Out as a reminder to myself not to take things for granted, and to help Lifewise reach their goal of ending homelessness in NZ by 2020.
