Pouri was born in Kaikohe, Northland, and raised in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland). He has spent the last 20 years in Te Matau a Māui (Hawke's Bay) with his wife, Wendy, and 4 tamariki. He has varied work experiences including engineering, predator suppression and possum eradication.

In his spare time, he plays guitar, is a bit of a ‘Mr Fix-it’, and enjoys making things.

Like Wendy, he's enjoying being part of the ZIP team and living on the coast.
