Dedicating himself to a career in broadcasting, Gerard has created a unique niche in accessible broadcasting. When you watch Gerard on The Beat Goes On or any other Face TV production, you’re seeing NZ culture evolve. He talks with people that you know about events that you relate to.

It’s representative broadcasting, TV that influences decisions and helps guide a wealthy generation.
