ALAN TĀNE SOLOMON

Chief Coach

Kei te mihi atu kia koutou i roto i te ingoa o tātou ariki a Ihu Karaiti.
Ngā mihi ki tō tātou matua i Te Rangi.

Ko Titiroa te maunga
Ko Wakatipu te moana
Ko Oreti te awa
Ko Uruao te waka
Ko Ngāi Tahu me Mori Ori oku iwi
Ko Kāti kuri te hapu

Originally from Southland, Alan’s whakapapa (ancestry) is to Ngāi Tahu and Mori Ori iwi (tribe).

He has worked in leadership, personal development and health and wellness for over 20 years. His hugely varied vocational life is a reflection of his eclectic personality. Since 2013 he has dedicated his life to the leadership development of young people through the charitable trust he founded OneChance New Zealand and more recently, the Waka with Wings Charity. His business Waka Taitonga Ltd trading as ATS Coach is the fruit of the seeds sown into his charity work, the lives of young people, leadership development and his personal life journey. Alan has travelled to more than 45 countries, served as a physical training instructor in the Royal NZ Air Force, and is involved in the community with Justice of the Peace duties, networking and mentoring. To relax Alan can be found hitting the Redwoods mountain bike tracks and swimming the lakes of the Rotorua district.
