Metanoia Ventures is led by TJ, who has over 10 years of experience in leading hunting expeditions throughout New Zealand. TJ's  love for the great outdoors and his passion for hunting and tailoring trips is evident in everything he does. He thrives on the opportunity to help others achieve their goals. 

​

Alongside TJ you'll usually find his shadow - Bear. Bear was adopted by TJ when he was 7 months old and since, has been trained to be the very best mountain companion throughout a hunt. Bear is now 6 and loves sniffing out the stags. 

At Metanoia Ventures, we understand that hunting isn't just about the thrill of the chase - it's also about the culinary experience that comes with it. That's why we're proud to have Chef Liam as part of our team - his expertise in butchery, cooking, and presentation are second to none. He has cooked in some of the most renowned restaurants in New Zealand and Rarotonga and is highly skilled at creating unique dishes showcasing some of the finest combinations of New Zealand game and seasonal New Zealand produce. From field to plate, we guarantee a memorable dining experience.

Jono is a key member of our hunting team at Metanoia Ventures. He's renowned as the mountain goat of the team, with a tireless stamina for traversing the rugged terrain. In addition to hunting, Jono is also our main fishing guide, with an unrivaled knowledge of the best spots to catch the biggest fish. With a love for the great outdoors and a passion for sharing his knowledge with others, Jono is an essential part of our team.
