When he's not travelling around New Zealand or playing Dad to his four kids, he's attempting to win a Ping Pong battle at SwipedOn HQ. Oh, and when he's not busy with those tasks, he is a product manager at SwipedOn. We caught up with Ricky on his 6 month *vacation* to New Zealand to find out what a day in the life at SwipedOn is like for him.
I'm used to working remotely in the UK so had some trepidation about coming over to NZ and being full-time in an office. I can say that those fears were ill-founded. Nice working atmosphere. The table tennis is also a highlight (although I suck).
Letting people from the UK come and visit for extended vacations :)

My family and I are currently living by: "It's part of the adventure!"
Product, product, product! I worked for payroll companies, transportation companies and electronic PDM companies but always in and around software... except when I worked at Asda on the grocery section as a weekend job. It ended badly otherwise I could have run the company.
Play with my 4 kids, football and console games.
I don't have a bucket list. I just like to see what happens! Maybe beat Jason at Table Tennis one day.
Hads because he can drive boats and has the money to make the island pretty sweet.
I have four daughters. Three were born in September. Two were born on the same day two years apart. And their names all begin with M.
