Graeme Sinclair

Graeme Sinclair’s story is amazing! Since 1993 he has been on TV3 with his programme Gone Fishin’. After numerous TV appearances and writing various articles for outdoor publications in NZ & Australia, Graeme purchased an interest in a TV production company in 1993 and fronted the first series of ‘Gone Fishin’. Then followed his first book New Zealand – A Wild Place to Play and the formation of Frontier Television in 1994 as producer, director, and underwater cameraman for 26 Gone Fishin’ episodes and an Inside NZ documentary Fiordland – Coastline of Adventure.

After 7 years on TV3 with his programme Gone Fishin’, Graeme Sinclair has become one of NZ’s most popular personalities.

Graeme Sinclair has a very diverse and interesting background. He majored in Physical Education at Teachers Training College. He later joined a pharmaceutical company where he moved from sales representative to National Sales Manager before setting up a partnership handling advertising accounts for several pharmaceutical companies. He began organising and guiding white water rafting trips, for hunters, divers and fishermen. Graeme later established a company specialising in the development of outdoor management and team building courses and incentive outdoor and leisure programmes. He planned and led expeditions to Fiordland, Marlborough Sounds and Three Kings Island to hunt, dive and fish as well as research subjects of historical significance.

In 1997 Graeme was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Because of Graeme’s passion for life in the face of an illness that would daunt most people out of action, Graeme’s story is one of inspiration and motivation. In his own way Graeme covers material on living every day as though it was your last. He talks about being a healthy successful TV personality one day and being confined to a wheelchair the next day. He produced his 6th series of Gone Fishin’ before becoming TV3’s weatherman in Feb 1998. His next challenge was to learn to drive a wheelchair and he still lives a very demanding and full life. He continues to produce his Gone Fishin’ series and is now a skilful wheelchair driver, angler, diver and hunter.

Graeme Sinclair has very strong views on life and you will be inspired by his personal philosophy. As well as living his passion Graeme is also a very successful author and his video also has received enthusiastic feedback from NZ and overseas. He speaks to many business groups about change, teamwork (essential for fishing) and the power of the human spirit, inspiring audiences wherever he goes.

Allow Graeme to share his life with your audience and let them see how one man achieves success every day with a spirit that won’t be beaten.
