Stacey completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Auckland University of Technology following completion of a Bachelor of Sports Studies and working as a personal trainer for several years. Personal training was great and he loved helping other people to enjoy exercising and pushing themselves but felt that he needed a little bit more so that he could both treat and train his clients.

In physiotherapy his interests include the treatment of back pain and chronic problems, having suffered disc and sciatic pain himself. He is looking forward to getting involved in local sports teams as a physio and he himself enjoys playing basketball and exercising.
