Peter Reynolds
Founder
Razor was then given the opportunity to enter the British army, which consequently changed his life. It was in the army that Razor was given the skills and passion to invest in himself and others. Razor spent 13 years in the Elite Illustrious 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, then four years in the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment. He completed ten tours of duty and visited a number of countries along the way.
Razor left the army in 2014. Slightly wiser, now married, with two kids of his own, he realised a lot of his life had been about mentoring and being a role model. He is passionate about helping young people (who remind him of his younger self) – recognising they have a need to be given life-enhancing tools. Razor’s passion is to see young people become healthier versions of themselves and grow through life’s challenges.
Razor is now the owner of Johnson & Couzins Hire Ltd – Marquee Hire and chooses to employ struggling young people whom he can mentor and give the dignity of work. He has himself as a model – moving from a struggling youth to army Commendations and now owning his own company. It can be done!

UTRINQUE PARATUS “READY FOR ANYTHING”

Neal Carter
Trustee
My name is Neal Carter, l married my wife Carleen in 2003 and we have four children, three girls and one boy. I’m currently serving as an Army Chaplain with the New Zealand Defence Force. I started this role as an officiating chaplain in 2010 then moved to reserves in 2015 and in 2019 became a regular force Chaplain. I left school at 15 years of age, let's say school and myself didn’t get on that well. I struggled to learn in a classroom, but one thing I did learn was how to eat lunch through English so I could enhance my time playing sports during the break. I was, and still am a passionate sportsperson. I played competitive football through my school days and into my late twenties. My working career started at a Supermarket as I waited to start an apprenticeship as a furniture maker. A few years after the completion of my apprenticeship I returned to school to study industrial design as an adult student. Once I finish studying my life changed direction. I did a missions trip to China, which was then followed by a church plant to Doncaster in the UK. On returning home I spent 12 months working as a cabinet maker on Super Yachts and then started an internship with LIFE which lead to working as a Pastor at LIFE in Auckland for 19 years. During this time I had a number of roles from New Christians pastor, a regional pastor working in South Auckland, facilities manager and overseeing security to mention a few of my roles but my main role was pastoring people. I sat on a Women’s refuge Board and also the board for South Auckland Christian Food Bank. I am passionate about seeing people reach their full potential. My early life was in a family of eight, one sister and four brothers. As a child, I moved around the country with my Family, these include Christchurch, Timaru, Palmerston North and Auckland. Now I find myself with my family back where it all started in Christchurch.

Aidan Boniface
Trustee
My name is Aidan Boniface and I live on the outskirts of Rolleston with my wife Jo and dog Maggie. I have three daughters who think they are all grown up and have left home.
My father was ex-army and my mother was a school teacher and right through my younger years, they taught the values of self-reliance, discipline and determination.
I have spent most of my working life in financial services and I am constantly amazed at the financial predicaments some clients find themselves in. Mostly due to a lack of self-reliance, discipline and determination
In my spare time, I am a keen petrol head and love motorcycling (and anything else with an engine)
I met Razor in 2011 and we shared similar views on how to help people through the ongoing earthquakes. We have stayed in touch ever since, and I am greatly honoured that Razor has asked me to help with Moral Compass. I firmly believe that today’s youth have a lot to offer society and they sometimes just need a little guidance to steer them in a more productive direction.
Moral Compass can provide that guidance.
