For more than a decade, he owned and operated the family bakery, perfecting his skills and perfecting traditional recipes that have been passed down through generations.
Fuelled by passion for baking and patisserie, Noel made the bold decision to sell his business and go on a journey of exploration and discovery.

With a wealth of knowledge and expertise, he now dedicates himself to sharing his passion with the next generation. As a tutor at Te Pūkenga in Tauranga, Noel empowers aspiring bakers and pâtissiers, guiding them to follow in his footsteps and carry forward the rich legacy of their craft.
His contributions extend beyond the local realm as well, as he was honoured with an invitation to serve as a guest tutor at the culinary department of the University of Alexandria in Egypt.
Furthermore, Noel is on an academic pursuit, obtaining his bachelor’s degree in culinary arts, further enhancing his credibility in the field. Noel’s journey is a testament to his commitment to both impart knowledge and excel in his own culinary endeavours.
Outside the kitchen, Noel loves to create social media baking videos and mostly cherishes precious moments with his family, enjoys staying active by going to the gym, and finds joy in hiking with his wife and immersing himself in the beauty of nature that New Zealand has to offer.
