Our Story

My name is Danny Kettoola, Director of NextGen.

 

I’m a husband, married to my beautiful wife Aimee, a dad to my two gorgeous daughters Mirielle & Annaliese (plus another cooking in the oven), a youth worker, pharmacist and property investor. Previously also a real estate agent and boot camp trainer.

I’m not originally from Aotearoa. I was born in Iraq. I left during the gulf war with my parents and came to this beautiful country I call home when I was 15 years old. 

 

It was a big challenge coming to a new country with a new language, new school, it wasn’t easy settling in let alone aiming to do well.

 

However, having gone through this experience, I can think of nothing better than to encourage and empower your young person to excel in everything they desire to achieve.

Young person, we believe you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

At NextGen, we help you prove it.
