About Dylan Mitai

Kia ora,My name is Dylan Mitai. I am 32 years old.I enjoyed 5 years of high school at St Johns College in Hamilton before kickstarting my career as a mechanical engineer in the Royal New Zealand Navy. Some of my most rewarding life experiences were in the Navy - providing disaster relief during the 2009 tsunami in Samoa and 2010 earthquake in Christchurch being the biggest standouts. Gaining a Level 4 Certificate in mechanical and maintenance engineering whilst travelling the world was also a huge bonus.After 7 years of service in the Navy I decided it was time for a change.I left the Navy and went straight to the Maritime School where I completed my Marine Engineer Certificate Class 3 (MEC-3). Finishing the MEC-3 course, I spent a good 3 months figuring out what I wanted to do with my career moving forward. I decided I had done my time being away at sea for months on end and secured a land based position at Fullers Group Ltd as a mechanical/maintenance engineer.My engineering career thus far,Navy 2007 - 2014Fullers Group Ltd 2014 - Present-Outside of work I have a passion for health and fitness, myself and my wife own a CrossFit gym in Birkenhead called CrossFit Mecca. Our everyday goal there is to help our members become a better version of themselves both physically and mentally.If I'm not at work or coaching at my gym, ill be out chasing waves on the surfboard or finding new tracks in the Riverhead Forest on the mountain bike.
