Jeremy Field's story is nothing if not inspiring. Raised by a solo mum who spent time on a sickness benefit, Field's early life was ridden with troubles. But his determination and grit has seen him become a successful investor and he's just launched a career in real estate: now in his mid-30s, he's reaping the rewards of his actions.
EARLY CHALLENGES
Christchurch born and bred, Field “didn't have an easy childhood”. His mum was physically unwell and later struggled with alcohol abuse, his dad was absent. At age 12, he was run over by a truck and lost the top of his foot – years of skin and muscle grafts followed.
“While others were playing, I was learning toafter that: things were rough.”
